When Jonathan Rea tweeted the other night after his wrist surgery, “Dissappointing news today.
A lot more damage than expected in wrist.
Good news is that its all repaired but will be a long road to recovery,” he didn’t reveal the extent of the damage, but unfortunately from an initial diagnosis of a clean break to his radius, the surgery also revealed damage to the scapholunate ligament in his right wrist.

Dr.
Mike Hayton, who previously performed the surgery on Rea’s damaged left wrist (ruptured ligament between the left scaphoid and lunar bones) last October, this time inserted a screw in the radius bone and externally pinned the ligament, which means that the Castrol Honda rider looks set to miss more than just the Aragon round this weekend, but will all probability be also ruled out of the Assen round, and in all likelihood the 9th round at Silverstone (July 31st) could be his targeted return date.

“I was pretty upset when I got the news after the surgery yesterday because it means a longer rehab than we’d thought,” said Rea.

“It’s difficult, of course, and I’m devastated, but I’ve got a great team around me so I know I’ll get all the support I need to come back strong.
As I said before, I want to be 100% when I get back on the bike so, at the moment, I’m not going to put a definitive timescale on that.
I’ll just concentrate on getting back to fitness as fast and as completely as I can.
