Pedro Acosta Withdraws from Race Due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Wrist: Health Check Mandatory for German GP
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Pedro Acosta withdrew from the race due to discomfort that led to him being sidelined during the Dutch Grand Prix, followed by health issues. The KTM team announced that the young Spanish rider suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and underwent surgery. The team expects Acosta to return to the track for the German Grand Prix after passing the upcoming medical examination.
Technical Issues or Physical Health?
The reason for Pedro Acosta’s withdrawal from the Assen race was initially attributed to a technical fault. However, detailed investigations determined that the issue was physical, not technical. Attention was drawn to the rider slowing down during the first corner exit of lap 13 and constantly shaking his right hand. Following the checks, the official KTM statement emphasized that Acosta had undergone a successful operation to treat his carpal tunnel syndrome in his right wrist. KTM officials stated: "Pedro Acosta underwent a successful operation this morning to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in his right wrist." Furthermore, the team said, "He is expected to race at the German Grand Prix after passing the medical check next week." This information contained critical details regarding the rider's physical condition.
Critical Results in the Championship and Future Plans
For Acosta, the Assen race was a second consecutive disappointment in the championship standings. The Spanish rider could not see the checkered flag due to a technical fault during the final lap in Brno. Due to this non-finish, Acosta dropped to seventh place in the championship standings and fell 60 points behind the new leader, Jorge Martin. On the other side, the KTM team achieved the best result in the Assen race with Tech3 rider Enea Bastianini. Despite securing a checkered flag in seventh place, the Italian rider was penalized after Marc Marquez violated track limits during the final lap. The team focused on the German Grand Prix. The race has now been rescheduled for July 10-12. Acosta must successfully pass the medical check next week to be eligible to race.
