Casey Stoner claimed still covered pump arm injury when winning the 2012 Spanish MotoGP race in Jerez circuit, Sunday (29/4). This pain is the same problem when he was forced to release the hands of the first podium in Qatar Jorge Lorenzo.
"I still have problems with arm pump, but luck is not as hard a place in Qatar," Stoner said in a written statement received Dapurpacu.com.
As is known, arm pump (pump arm) is a common injury that happened to the motorcycle riders, especially motocross. Rider who fell ill with this syndrome generally will feel pain in your arm muscles when moving the wrist. In these conditions it is difficult for drivers to control a motorcycle at high speed.
Some riders MotorGP, such as Toni Elias, Nicky Hayden, John Hopkins, Marco Melandri and Keni Roberts Junior, also had the same illness.
Stoner himself admitted pump arm injury has made him difficult to rotate the shaft of gas and the brake with his hands. "I can not put a halt to the motorcycle. But if for a short distance, maybe it still can, "said Stoner as in Qatar.
Therefore, when competing in the Jerez race Stoner applied the method commonly used for patients with arm pump. Stoner looks trying to create a balance to the maximum on his motorcycle. Therefore, body movement does not look very aggressive, especially when bulldoze the corner.
Stoner also understand how painful arm pump is at risk if the driver braking hard, and play in the extreme grip.
The trick is actually performed Stoner, Lorenzo seemed always to be approached pabalap Australia is in every face of the bend at the Jerez circuit.
"I deliberately do not want to make a long distance, even though I knew Jorge and Dani are very fast. I'm just trying to stay ahead of them and pull away from the others, "said Stoner responded to victory in Jerez.
"Winning in this track (Jerez) is something very special for me," added the World Champion.
Actual arm pump problems can not simply disappear from the hands of Stoner. Because, if not treated medically, then the condition is more severe, the muscle damage is permanent, can be threatening.
To that end, Stoner still has a five-day training session in the series ahead of Portugal. But Stoner does not seem to want to perform a medical operation considering the difference in value with Lorenzo still 4 points adrift.
"We need to talk to some people and trying to find a solution by other means. It's certainly complicated because I really want this illness to recover, "said Stoner.
