Miller wins, Bags 2nd, a 1-2 for Ducati.It seems a no brainer to get the surgery.... look at Miller, he had his armpump op and it cost him no missed or not 100% fit races. Clearly it has improved things for him.“I had a big issue with the arm, so sad because I was feeling really easy in the front,” he said.
“We had amazing pace this weekend and then I just had no more power on the arm. Just so disappointed about it.
“But I fought until the end, even if it was only for three points.”
“I was in the lead by one second and then I had no more power. I still fought for six more laps with the pain, to keep the one-second lead, but it was just impossible for me. No more power.
“It was dangerous for me to ride the second half of the race but I didn’t want to stop because I knew that maybe one or two points can be really important for the championship, so I gave it my all.
“I had to brake with four fingers and normally I brake with one. I couldn’t go full gas on the straight.
“But, no explanation [for the arm pump]. I’m training the same, I’m feeling even better on the bike and… I don’t know.”
Another round of surgery appears likely now, although Quartararo admitted he was “lost” about the breadth of advice he received after the race.
“My brain right now is not working, [but] I have people – my manager, my best friend – to try to look at the best option, but right now I have no idea,” said the pre-round championship leader.
“For sure, something is planned because my arm is not okay. Portimao last year was a disaster, this year was perfect. Here I’ve never had a problem in my life, this year I have a problem. So it’s something that I don’t understand.
“We are still looking but there are too many options, my brain is just full of people telling me to go in one place, to go in another, or another. Actually, right now I’m lost, but we will see.”
I kind of expected armpump to be the cause. If it had been mechanical like fading to failing brakes he'd have pulled in.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑2 years ago Fabio Quartararo has confirmed that arm pump caused his slide from a seemingly comfortable lead to a finish of 13th.

A bit more to the front and just 1cm deeper, he would have bleeded to death in seconds and there would have been absolutely nothing the trackside marshals could have done.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑2 years ago We have one person in that last lap seemingly lucky to still be alive....
Moto3 rider Deniz Oncu has revealed how close he came to death in the multi-bike crash at the last corner of the Spanish Moto3 Grand Prix.
Oncu was vying for victory when he lost the front end of his Tech3 entry and crashed at Curva Lorenzo.
The Turk’s #53 machine initially took down Jaume Masia’s own KTM due to contact with the rear wheel, then wiped out the front wheel of Darryn Binder’s Honda.
Oncu, however, remained attached to his bike as it pirouetted on the deck, and his neck was cut open by Binder’s front brake disc.
“Honestly, I’m lucky to be alive,” he wrote on Instagram, where he posted a photograph of his neck.
“When Darryn Binder went past the top of my head, his front disc cut my neck.
“It could have been worse!”
He wasnt joking either.....
