Team HRC have released a new statement regarding Xavi Vierge after his incident at the Autodrom Most.
At the Czech Republic World Superbike Round, Xavi Vierge was involved in a multi-rider crash in Race Two on the first lap.
Initially, he was not diagnosed with any fractures at the Autodrom Most, but after returning to Spain, it was found that he had multiple fractures to the cuboid bone in his right foot.
On Tuesday, the 20th of May, Vierge underwent a successful surgery in Barcelona to stabilise the fractured bone.
A statement from Honda after his surgery stated:
“Following initial medical assessment at the circuit, Vierge immediately returned to Spain for further evaluation by Dr. Xavier Mir at Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona. Detailed examinations confirmed the need for surgical intervention to stabilise the fractured bone.
“The procedure included the insertion of four screws to fix the bone and was completed successfully.
“Determined and fully committed as ever, Vierge is already focused on his recovery and will begin an intensive rehabilitation program right away. His treatment plan will include physiotherapy and hyperbaric chamber sessions, with the aim of accelerating the recovery process.
“Xavi’s goal is to try and be back on track for the upcoming Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round, taking place at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” on June 13-15.
“The Honda HRC team will provide further updates on Xavi Vierge’s recovery in due course.”
After five rounds in the 2025 World Superbike Championship, Vierge finds himself seventh in the standings with 71 points to his name.
The Spaniard is also the top Honda rider in the series and has a best result of fifth place in Race One at Portimao and Cremona, as well as the Superpole Race at Cremona.
With three weeks until the next round of the World Superbike Championship in Misano the #97 wants to return to the grid for Round Six of the season.
