KTM Red Bull’s Pedro Acosta has been cleared to take part in this weekend’s Michelin Grand Prix of France. Acosta underwent surgery after the Jerez round for chronic compartment syndrome on his right forearm.
However, IDEMITSU Honda LCR rider Somkiat Chantra, who also had surgery for arm pump on April 30, will not be on the track at Le Mans. Dr. Xavier Mir, who did the procedure, recommended more time off before returning to racing, and the team agreed.
“The team fully supports Somkiat’s recovery process and looks forward to welcoming him back on track soon,” LCR Honda said.
