Carpal tunnel syndrome is a quietly brutal enemy for a rider. I still have the feel of the throttle in my fingertips, so I get it. If your grip strength goes along with fine control, there's no fighting for the podium. Acosta's call that he 'can't ride like this' and retiring was the right one. Get through Tuesday's surgery and get that right arm back first.
