Just one day after factory Honda MotoGP rider Dani Ped🎐rosa underwent surgery for arm pump, LCR's Stefan Bradl has undergone the same opeꦰration.

While Pedrosa's decision came as something of a surprise, having not🏅 publicly mentioned the classic forearm symptoms, Bradl was hampered by a lack of strength and feeling on his way to tenth in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.

"I started to have arm pump after a few laps and I couldn't💟 push any harder," Bradl had said. "I don't remember [the last time I had a problem w🐬ith arm pump] but I had an operation one and a half years ago."

Upon returning to Germany, Bradl visi🧔ted Doctor Wolfgang Streifinger in Wertingen, in the State of Bavaria, where the need for a second surger𒈔y was diagnosed yesterday.

'Bra𒁃dl was already 🌃operated [on] to treat arm pump symptoms on November 2012 and Dr. Xavier Mir in Barcelona carried out the surgery but, as happened to his colleague Dani Pedrosa recently, sometimes a second surgery is required especially after an intensive winter training programme,' said a team statement.

Pedrosa and Bradl, sixth in the world championship with a best finish of fourth, 🧸both expect to participate in next weekend's French round at Le Mans.

"First of all I wish to thank Doctor Streifinger and his staff: we knew each other since 2010 when he operated [on] me for the first time," said Bradl. "After the arm pump problems I suffered in Jerez, we decided to treat the right forearm again and the operation was very quick: only 15 minutes. Now I am starting my recovery programme to be fit for the forthcoming GP in Le 💯Mans."
