Sí que os puedo decir que voy a empezar la rehabilitación en breve, sin centrarnos en una fecha de regreso. Queremos ver cómo evoluciona en los próximos días la lesión, y a partir de ahí, empezar a pensar en volver a los circuitos. Lo importante es recuperarme bien.

Sobre la caída, poco más os puedo contar que no sepáis ya. Fue fruto de la mala suerte. Evidentemente, cuando te caes y te lesionas, siempre te cabreas, pero no me gusta quedarme pensando en lo que pudo haber sido. Como os digo, fue mala suerte, esta vez me tocó a mí, y ahora hay que levantarse. Las carreras y la vida misma son así y siempre hay que mirar adelante.

Spanish to English translation

I wish I could write today after a very different Japanese Grand Prix, but this is sport.  Now that I have spent a couple of days since the fall and the operation, I can tell you that I am well and thinking how to recover to return as soon as possible to the circuits. I can not tell when it will be, because, from experience, I know that recovery time can vary and that it all depends on how things evolve in the coming days.

Yes I can tell you that I will start rehabilitation soon, without focusing on a return date. We want to see how it evolves in the coming days the injury, and from there, start thinking about returning to the circuit. The important thing is to recover well.
