The weekend in Most was not like Xavi Vierge and HRC expected. Although the CBR1000RR-R is taking steps, which are increasing the competitiveness of both Vierge and Iker Lecuona, a multiple fall in the exit of race 2 gave the raishes with all the aspirations of the Catalan pilot.
In the accident Jonathan Rea were involved, which was the one who made the error that ended in Carambola, Álvaro Bautista and Xavi Vierge, who was the only one who suffered injuries and that in a first exploration the fracture in the tarsus of his right foot was confirmed.
An exploration already arrived in Spain revealed the need to intervene surgically to stabilize fractures in the cube bone, one of the seven bones that make up the tarsus and is on the side side of the foot.
As reported by the official statement issued by HRC, when arriving in Spain and passing review with Dr. Xavier Mir, the intervention was carried out with the placement of four screws to stabilize it. It is now expected that Viege can return to the track for the next WSBK round, which will take place at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli from June 13 to 15, although before that more information about the state of Vierge is expected.
Official HRC statement on Xavi Vierge:
“The Honda HRC pilot, Xavi Vierge, has been successfully operated to treat multiple fractures of the cuboid bone on his right foot At the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona.
“As determined and committed as ever, Xavi is already focused on its recovery and will immediately begin an intense rehabilitation program. Its treatment plan will include physiotherapy and sessions in hyperbaric chamber, with the aim of accelerating the recovery process. Xavi’s goal is to try to return to the track for the next Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round, which will be held in the Misano World Circuit Simoncelli from June 13 to 15.
