I had surgery yesterday to fix an injury in my foot that’s been limiting my push start abillity for some time now", the 24-year-old wrote on Facebook and Twitter. "I’ll be sitting out racing for a few weeks whilst I take the time I need to repair. I’m feeling very positive about the future and can't wait to get stuck into my rehab."
