This type of fracture, in the area closest to the palm of the hand, usually occurs when it falls on the extended hand, although in the sequence of the fall of Iker Lecuona after being onslaught it is not appreciated whether it was so or not. What is clearly seen is that it is the left part of his body that hits heavily against the ground.

Thus, Dr. Eduardo Sánchez Alepuz carried out the operation at the IMED hospital in Valencia in order to stabilize the area.
Now Iker Lecuona is in full recovery process despite the fact that, logically, the Suzuka 8 hours will be lost in which this week was going to participate. His position will be covered by his partner Xavi Vierge.
The first review of the evolution of the fracture will take place on Monday, August 4, at which time Iker will go through the hands of the medical team. For now there are no public recovery deadlines, although Honda HRC has confirmed that it will offer updates on the recovery of Lecuona.
