Fermin Aldeguer’s surgery was successful and he is now on a long recovery.
pilot of murcia Fermin Aldeguer This afternoon he underwent surgery for a compound fracture of the femoral shaft of his left leg at the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona. The injury was sustained during a private street bike training session at the Aspar circuit in Guadassuar this Thursday, just 25 days before the start of pre-season in Sepang and seven weeks before the start of the World Cup in Buriram (February 27 to March 1).
The Gresini Racing Team was quite modest about the information they provided publicly: “Aldeguer’s femoral surgery has been completed successfully. It is now time for him to rest. We will provide further information in the coming days.”
Surgery in such cases is open reduction and internal fixation, and the recovery period for a “normal” person always depends on the severity of the fracture and whether there is nerve or vascular damage, but no information has been provided yet. However, since his case is that of an elite athlete, the deadline is much shorter. In principle, it does not seem reasonable that the Murcian player could take part in either the first pre-season test in Sepang (February 3-5) or the second test in Buri Ram (February 21-22), and could also miss the first GGPP of 2026.
Aldeguer was injured when his Yamaha R6 sports bike hit a high side while entering a curve. The cold asphalt may have been the cause of the accident on the day they shared their first training session of the year. Marc MarquezHe resurfaced 100 days after being injured in the Indonesian Grand Prix by the handlebars of a Ducati Panigale V2 MM93 and a collector’s bike, the new V4 Marquez 2025 World Champion Replica.
In 2022, it will be run by the same specialist as Pedro Acosta.
The Murcian was operated on by the same specialist who operated on his compatriot Pedro Acosta, who suffered a comminuted fracture of the femur in his left leg in 2022 after falling during motocross training. He tried again six weeks later but was denied. He returned two months later.
