Fresh from his debut grand prix podium in Sunday's wet Moto3 grand prix, rookie Alex Rins underwent surgery i🦩n Barcelona on Mond🐷ay to repair finger damage from a Saturday fall at Le Mans.

The Spaniard underwent sur⛎gery on the little finger of his right hand, in a procedure carried out by Dr. Xavier Mir at the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus de Barcꦬelona.

Rins (Suter Honda) wil🅺l remain in hospital for 24 hours 🎀under antibiotics.

Fellow Repsol-backed rider Marc M?rquez (Suter), who suffered a heavy bl📖ow to his right hand when he crashed out of Sunday's Moto2 race, also underwent🍨 an examination at the facility.

Marquez, who lost the title lead🍃 by 🥃one-point to Pol Espargaro following the fall, lightly damaged his thumb in Sunday's spill and has been advised to rest the injury for a week.

Both Rin﷽s and Marquez will thus be fit for the fifth round of the 2012 world championships, in front of their home Spanish fans, at Catalunya in two weeks' time.
