 Sete
Gibernau On Road To Recovery
The MoviStar rider continues with ultrasound and anti-inflammatory
treatment as he aims to be back at his best at Estoril this weekend
MoviStar Honda MotoGP rider Sete Gibernau is fighting back to
fitness after returning home from Jerez with a muscular injury
in his right shoulder, suffered as a consequence of the incident
at the end of the race involving Valentino Rossi. Even though
the initial medical report compiled by Josep Antón Gutiérrez
suggested that his participation in the second round of the season
was 'doubtful', Sete is confident that he will be back to full
fitness in time for the first qualifying session of the Portuguese
Grand Prix.
Gibernau yesterday underwent a full check on the shoulder, which
has undergone surgery on two previous occasions, and was diagnosed
with a capsular injury to the joint linking his upper arm and
shoulder blade, affecting the tendon of his upper back muscle.
According to Gutiérrez the injury requires: "rest
and anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment, as well as functional
rehabilitation."
The rider is combining anti-inflammatories specific to tendon
recuperation with two daily sessions of ultrasound in order to
accelerate his recovery from an injury that, in normal circumstances,
would require two weeks of treatment.
"I'm feeling very highly motivated for the next Grand Prix
and all I'm thinking about is recovering as well as possible
over the next three days in order to continue in the same vein
that we have started the championship," commented Sete.
"It's a shame there isn't a spare week between the two races
but I'm confident this will have a minimal effect on our work."
