Arm pump - that's something I suffered plenty from myself back when I was racing. Your forearm swells tight and your grip strength drains away, and that throws off everything from corner entry to exit. Fasciotomy is a road top riders take - it's not surgery to run away from anything. It's a decision made to come back at full strength. I'll be waiting for Bagnaia's return.

It's a surgery where they cut it open to relieve pressure from swollen muscle.

If he can claw back from this state, he probably hasn't given up on the title fight yet.

A specialist clinic in Modena — that's right in Ducati's backyard, so coordination should be quick.

Success announcements always come fast, but the real judgment call is when he actually returns to racing.

Still, there's a chance Bagnaia himself was gritting through it and hiding the injury.

Endoscopic surgery for arm pump has basically become standard now.
