The charismatic rider from Girona will undergo surgery on the scaphoid of his left foot in the coming days, in order to solve a fracture produced in the first race of the Outdoor World Championship, held in France.
Dani has carried this injury throughout the season, sacrificing this intervention in order not to miss any race of a world championship, whose schedule has been especially tight. As Ossa’s number one rider himself says:
“the injury does not prevent me from riding a motorcycle or cycling, but it does prevent me from doing other training such as running, as well as forcing me to step in the wrong way and limit myself sportively”.
This operation will keep Dani out for at least three or four weeks. In any case, the rider hopes to be without problems in the last round of the Spanish Championship, which will be held on November 18 in Cal Rosal.
