Moto3 rider David Munoz has undergone surgery following a fractured pelvis which he sustained at the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend. The Spanish IntactGP rider was run over on the final lap of the race in a brutal incident while battling for the podium. Following the race, which was red flagged on the final lap as
championship leader Maximo Quiles took another convincing victory, it was clear that Munoz would have sustained injuries due to the nature of the fall, however the injuries could have major implications for the rest of Munoz's season.
The IntactGP team made the following statement on Monday following the surgery:
Following the accident at the Hungarian GP, David Munoz has successfully undergone surgery at the Dr. Jenő Manninger Trauma Center in Budapest. The procedure stabilised fractures to his pelvis as well as a fracture in his left arm. He now remains under medical supervision. The next step will be to arrange his transfer back to Spain, where further evaluations will take place. The team wishes him all the best on the further steps and a smooth recovery.
