Driving in the Supersport World Championship Niki Tuuli, 26, has undergone new surgery. During the operation, three toes were amputated from a Finnish driver.
Wind posted a picture of the hospital on Sunday.
– I have a lot of pain right now and even more nerve pain. Looks like I could fly home on Wednesday, Tuuli writes in her Instagram account.
The wind was injured on May 22 in Portugal during the warm-up of the Estoril race.
In the event of a fall, the foot of the wind was caught between the chain of the motorcycle and the wheel. The first surgery was performed on the same day.
– The operation tried to fix everything with nails or something similar. The damage was so bad that my toes didn’t come to life even after the surgery, he writes.

Bones visible
Iltalehti reached the motorcyclist the day after the accident. He said at the time that the detachment of the toes was imminent.
– At first I saw that a few toes had come off. Or in fact, I haven’t seen my toes yet. I hope everything is safe. I can’t even say, even if someone is missing, damn, he said at the time.
– The leather on some of the toes was completely wrapped away. There was nothing but bones visible.
The wind described its fall as a harmless situation. The stern of the bike left under the warm-up and stumbled into the asphalt.
– The bike simply threw me into the air in such a position that the foot turned between the wheel and the chain. I don’t even understand how that’s possible, but there was really bad luck.
Drivers have shoes in their shoes, but footwear is not designed for such accidents.
The wind drives MV Augusta in the stable. The Finn was fifth in the World Championships, but a weekend in Portugal that ended in injury dropped him to seventh.
