Marco Bezzecchi<\/a> is aiming to make a comeback in MotoGP\u2019s British Grand Prix next month after undergoing a successful surgery on his broken collarbone in Italy.<\/p>\n

Following a crash during qualifying for the German Grand Prix on Saturday, Bezzecchi immediately returned home to Italy to meet Dr. Giuseppe Porcellini.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aprilia had already revealed that his injury required immediate operation and, as planned, the 27-year-old went under the knife on Sunday morning at a hospital in Modena.<\/p>\n

The surgery was described as a success, with the fracture being \u201creduced and stabilised\u201d as part of the treatment.<\/p>\n

With MotoGP set for a four-month long summer break following Sunday\u2019s Sachsenring round, Bezzecchi is hoping to return to action without missing any further races. The British GP at Silverstone is scheduled on 9 August.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Media, Marco Bezzecchi has undergone successful surgery performed by Dr. Giuseppe Porcellini at the University Hospital of Sassuolo; the fracture of his left clavicle was reduced and stabilised,\u201d read a statement from Aprilia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough it is too early to define a precise recovery timeline, we hope to see Marco return to racing at the next GP at Silverstone. However, a more definitive prognosis will be delivered in the coming days based on the evolution of his clinical condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bezzecchi had just set the second fastest time in Q2 when he suffered a major highside at Turn 7 and was violently thrown off the bike. After barrel-rolling through the gravel, he was seen limping on his feet before being taken to the medical centre for check-ups. Scans revealed \u201ca complete and displaced fracture of the left clavicle\u201d, forcing him out of the weekend.<\/p>\n

The Italian has not scored a point in the last four Sunday races in a row. Prior to his DNS at the Sachsenring, he was taken out by team-mate Jorge Martin<\/a> at Balaton Park, was banned from the Czech GP for slapping a marshal and crashed out of the Dutch GP on lap two.<\/p>\n

Having already lost the championship lead to Martin in Assen, he has now slipped 11 points behind the top spot – and could lose more ground in the main race at the Sachsenring.<\/p>\n
