The procedure addressed chronic arm pump (compartment syndrome) and was performed at a hospital in Modena, Italy. Ducati says the surgery was successful with no complications. Bagnaia is targeting a return at the British GP at Silverstone on August 7-9.

Bagnaia has gone through with an endoscopic fasciotomy on his right arm. I was tormented plenty by arm pump myself back when I was racing, so I understand the weight of this decision. Taking care of it during the summer break before it turns chronic — that's the judgment of a true competitor. If he's back for Silverstone, the second half of his season will likely see a different rider entirely. Well, that all depends on the arm, though.
