The scary high-side during the last free practice session at Silverstone cost Aleix Espargaro a broken heel in his right foot.
This was revealed by the medical checks carried out today at the Dexeus Hospital in Barcelona.
The Spaniard from Aprilia then stoically took to the track for both qualifying and Sunday's race.
The injury does not require the use of surgical treatments, Aleix was prescribed 7 days of absolute rest during which he will have to use crutches to avoid loading the injured foot.
The goal is to go to the next race weekend (19-21 August, Austria) in the best physical conditions.
