Team HRC released a further update following the completion of the surgery, with “the fractures successfully set without complications”. On Monday, 13 th June, Team HRC released a statement stating that Vierge would undergo surgery on his injuries the following Thursday, with that operation taking place as scheduled. He was taken to the medical centre for a check-up following the crash where he was diagnosed with a fracture to the base of his third metacarpal bone on his right hand, and a fracture to his capitate and hamate bones on his right wrist. On Lap 12 of 21, a high-speed crash at Turn 11 put him out of the race and ended his hopes of another top-five finish. Vierge started Race 2 from fourth place after using Pirelli’s SCQ tyre to move up the order in the Tissot Superpole Race and he maintained his position inside the top five in the early stages of Race 2. Vierge, in his rookie MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship campaign, crashed in Race 2 during the Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round as he looked for a second top-five finish of the weekend. Less than a week after suffering fractures to his right hand and wrist at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, Xavi Vierge (Team HRC) underwent successful surgery on his injuries at hospital in Barcelona.
