"On Monday, the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider was transferred to a private hospital to continue his recovery and to monitor the bruising on his lungs more closely, which are recovering well. As a result, doctors believe it is possible for him to return to Spain tomorrow to undergo surgery on his right hand in Barcelona in the coming days.
