Another surgical bulletin: Jonathan Rea has surgery on right arm

Jonathan Rea also underwent surgery yesterday to secure the radius bone in his right arm, that he fractured at Misano during warm-up, where he also picked up fractures to his right foot and chipped his left collarbone and will be missing this weekend’s WSBK Motorland Aragon round, which we already knew on Sunday evening directly from his video.

Rea tweeted after yesterday’s surgery: “Dissappointing news today.
A lot more damage than expected in wrist.
Good news is that its all repaired but will be a long road to recovery.
”Castrol Honda has announced that they will not be fielding a replacement rider for Rea as Misano and Aragon are back-to-back races, and there wasn’t enough time to find a substitute.

The Northern Irishman has a little more than three weeks to recovery from his injuries before the Brno round rolls around July 10th.
