Fabio Quartararo will undergo an operation on his right arm after suffering a muscle injury during the weekend's Spanish MotoGP, his team Yamaha told AFP on Monday. A Yamaha spokesperson said that the French rider will go under the knife on Tuesday after he doubled over in agony following his 13th-placed finish in Jerez on Sunday. However Quartararo said on social media that he has been given the all clear to ride the French MotoGP at Le Mans on May 16. The 22-year-old former championship leader sits second in the overall standings, two points behind Ducati's Italian rider Francesco Bagnaia after four races. ole/td/lp
