MotoGP's Pedro Acosta has undergone surgery on his right wrist to treat a long-standing case of carpal tunnel syndrome. The KTM rider is targeting a return for the German GP at the Sachsenring following the operation. A young talent continuing to race while managing a chronic condition.
Acosta had surgery on his right wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome — finally dealing with a time bomb he'd been carrying for a while. And he's still trying to make it in time for the German GP at the Sachsenring — that youth and grit is the real deal. The wrist is a rider's lifeline. Don't want him pushing it too hard, but I'm genuinely waiting for the day he can go flat out pain-free again.

Is carpal tunnel syndrome a kind of occupational hazard common among riders?
Racing while dealing with a chronic condition at such a young age is genuinely tough work.
A stretch where Acosta isn't at full strength could also become an opportunity for other riders.
Curious how many days of post-surgery recovery time there are before the German GP.
Aiming for a comeback at the Sachsenring sounds like it was a fairly quick decision.
Plenty of riders carry carpal tunnel syndrome for a long time, so committing to surgery was a bold call.
Having surgery mid-season means he must have been putting up with it for quite a while.
