Yet another MotoGP rider falls from
Motocross bike!
BAUTISTA SUFFERS SHOULDER INJURY DURING TRAINING
Rizla
Suzuki's Alvaro Bautista has sustained a broken shoulder whilst
training in readiness for next week's French Grand Prix.
Bautista
had a fall whilst riding his motocross machine on Thursday and
underwent a successful one-hour operation today to repair what his
surgeon describes as a simple break to the clavicle bone in his
shoulder. His medical team is confident that Bautista can ride at Le
Mans next week, although it may be with some pain and restricted
movement. Bautista is also sure that he will be ready for the French
Grand Prix and is 100% focused on competing at Le Mans.
Therefore,
Rizla Suzuki has no plans at present to replace Bautista for the French
Grand Prix on Sunday May 23rd and will update news on his condition as
it becomes available.
...so falling of a relatively low-speed Motocross bike must be the new 'thing' for MotoGP riders to do. If both Fiat Yamaha riders are doing it, despite the now infamous 'firewall' between Rossi and Lorenzo then it must be worth others following suit... Who will be next?
