ACOSTA ARM PUMP
Pedro Acosta was passed fit to
compete at Le Mans after un-
dergoing arm pump surgery the
previous Tuesday. "I was having
already in Argentina, I was having
already in Qatar," he explained.
"But it was not that dramatic. But
then in the Jerez test I was also
having problems. Even in short
runs, and this was not normal. For
this it was better to make it now
and get it done." Asked how his
arm reacted on Friday, he said,
"Really good. We're not at 100
percent, we're not at 90, but it's
okay. Sometimes I have a pinch of
pain. It depends if the inflamma-
tion becomes a bit bigger or what-
ever. But the rest is quite okay."
Briefly...
It was the absolute worst
possible weekend for
Francesco Bagnaia, with
two no-score rides.
Miguel Oliveira (88) was back in
action and briefly held second
place before crashing out. Fermin
Aldeguer (54) had a weekend he'll
remember for life with two third-
place finishes.
