T🌌he RNF Aprilia rider went under the knife on Thursday to cure the problem wh♕ich blighted his Spanish MotoGP last weekend.

He also retired from the Portuguese MotoGP🍰, and did just three laps at Monday’s Jerez test, due to the issue.

"As you may already know, I final🔥ly had to have surgery,” Fernandez said. 

“First of all, I would sincerely thank Dr. Foruria for the incredible job he has don꧑e, because I was not suffering from a normal arm pump, as I had nine affected muscles. 

“Now the difficult part begin🐻s, since we have to prepare everything with the aim of arriving in France in ꦬthe best possible way."

Fernandez previously e♏xplained how the injury was affecting him: “I couldn’t stop the bike. I can’t feel my right hand.

“I went to the doctor to see what we can do because it’s impossible to ride in MotoGP like this. It’s impossibl🅺e.

“I can’t say more abou♐t the race. I ended the race to show respect for Aprilia, for the people working in my te♉am.

“I couldn’t ride the bike like this. It was supe💯r difficult.

“If I can’t brake? What can I do? Nothing!

“T♉he problem now in MotoGP - we have more electronics, more power, more weig💛ht.

“Everything comes with more difficult things.

“Year by year, it is worse.

“On the bike, the first four or💜 five laps are crazy. You cannot stop the bike. It is super-heavy.

“It is a big problem.”
