Australian Jack Miller, pilot of the Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS team, has fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg after suffering an accident while training on Sunday at the Bellpuig motocross circuit, his team reports this Tuesday .
“After undergoing exhaustive examinations and x-rays at the Quirón Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona, Dr. Xavier Mir has confirmed that Miller has fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg,” the team points out.
The 21-year-old Australian has undergone surgery this Tuesday morning to stabilize the two fractures with compression plates and screws.
“The operation has been carried out by Dr. Eugenio Gimeno and the radiological examinations after the intervention have confirmed that the surgery has been a success,” adds the team.
Miller will remain under observation for 48 hours while he recovers from the procedure.
The decision of whether Miller will take part in the first MotoGP tests in Malaysia will be made soon, and will be made by the rider together with the medical team, says Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS. EFE
