250cc – Mike Di Meglio underwent forearm surgery

Mike di Meglio, French quarter-liter driver, was operated on today in Modena at 15.00 pm by Dr. Landi to resolve the compartment syndrome in his right forearm. The 2008 eighth-litre champion had already started to suffer from it in the pre-season tests and in the Jerez race the problem presented itself clearly. The decision to intervene was taken after the Italian GP held last Sunday on the Mugello circuit. The operation lasted 40 minutes and it was necessary to operate under general anesthesia. The French has seven centimeters of suture and a drain to avoid inflammation of the muscle. The Frenchman will therefore remain under observation during the night and if everything proceeds as expected he will be discharged tomorrow morning at 11am.
