Pedro Acosta Granted Race Permission for German GP: Health Check Successfully Completed
Doctors evaluated Pedro Acosta’s recovery process following his surgery and confirmed he is fit to race in the German Grand Prix. Having successfully passed the medical check conducted by the KTM team, Acosta confirmed he is physically able to get onto the track. However, the rider is adopting a cautious approach regarding performance expectations on track. Furthermore, whether the technical issues experienced by KTM recently have been resolved will be a critical test this weekend.
Post-Surgery Recovery and Physical Condition
Pedro Acosta had not been able to complete the race at the Dutch Grand Prix due to problems in his right arm. Therefore, he took advantage of the short break before the German GP to undergo a carpal tunnel surgery. The KTM team confirmed that Acosta’s condition is now fit for racing during the medical check at Sachsenring. Doctors noted that the rider was under pressure on his nerves and emphasized that his general condition has improved.
Expressing that the surgery went well, Acosta stated he felt a significant recovery in his daily life: "I am happy, truly happy because the surgery went quite smoothly and everything seems to be in order."
The rider suggested that the doctors noticed the pressure on his nerves and felt the situation should be better. Acosta also shared the physical effects of his recovery: "I can now sleep without waking up because of numbness in my fingers at night."
Track Expectations and Physical Limits
Despite being granted permission to race, Pedro Acosta did not want to set a concrete goal for the Sachsenring weekend. The Spanish rider believes he can only understand his true physical condition after getting onto the motorcycle on the track. Given that the track features numerous left-hand corners, he is taking a cautious approach, anticipating that the load on his right arm will be minimal.
Acosta stressed his caution against potential difficulties: "I think we shouldn't have any expectations."
Questioning the sufficiency of the pre-race checks, Acosta stated that he needs to evaluate the current situation: "First, I needed to pass the medical check. Then, I need to get on the motorcycle on race day and see how I feel."
KTM’s Technical Issues and Reliability Debate
Pedro Acosta’s disqualification at Assen was not solely due to physical issues; it was also observed that KTM struggled with multiple technical problems during the Dutch GP. These technical glitches are indicative of the general issues KTM has experienced recently. Acosta argued that such problems should not occur, but rather that efforts should focus on improvement: "They are trying everything because this is not a problem we experience."
The rider expressed concern that manufacturers focus only on development and ignore reliability issues. According to Acosta, fundamental technical problems must be resolved before the second half of the season. Therefore, the German GP will be a critical test regarding both his physical condition and the reliability of the motorcycle.
