Xavi Vierge has provided an update on his recovery from recent surgery after fracturing his ankle at the Autodrom Most.

While Team HRC were at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for a two-day World Superbike Test, Xavi Vierge remained at home recovering.

The Spaniard was injured in an incident in Race Two at the Czech Republic World Superbike Round and has since undergone successful surgery.

However, due to the state of his ankle, Vierge remains on the sidelines with his 'focus on returning as quickly as possible'.

"It’s a real shame not to have the chance to test in Misano with my team," Vierge said.

"But the good news is that everything is going well with my recovery after surgery on my right foot. I’m fully committed to the process, working daily with the hyperbaric chamber and sticking closely to medical guidance.

"After my latest check-up, the medical team has given me the green light to start additional treatments like the Indiba machine (a 448 kHz radiofrequency therapy used to speed up tissue healing), aimed at accelerating the recovery. I’m also back in the gym, though without putting weight on my foot for now, which is a positive step forward.

"Next Monday, June 2, I’ll have another check-up and a scan, and if everything is progressing as expected, I’ll start gradually putting some weight on my foot to see how it responds. Recovery feels slower than I’d like, but it’s actually moving quicker than initially anticipated, so I just have to be patient, stick to the plan, and focus on returning as quickly as possible."

The sixth round of the World Superbike Championship will take place at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on the 13th - 15th of June.

It is unclear at the moment whether Vierge will be back in action in time for the next round.
