KTM factory MotoGP rider Pedro Acosta has been cleared to travel from Barcelona to Le Mans for the Michelin Grand Prix of France this weekend.
Acosta underwent surgery after the MotoGP race at Jerez on his right forearm to relieve chronic compartment syndrome, also known as arm pump. His medical checkup today was described as positive by the team, allowing him to travel. He will receive a final check by MotoGP medical staff on Thursday to formally clear him to compete in this weekend’s on-track activities.
