MotoGP testing over for Nicky Hayden

Talk about bad luck for Nicky Hayden.
This morning we thought that he had limited his testing time due to problems to his wrist, but apparently his lap times were done by Ducati test rider Franco Battaini who went out to give the Ducati GP0 a shakedown early this morning.

The factory Ducati rider infact had to head back to the hospital to get his wrist X-rayed again, only to find out it was fractured in two spots.
Hayden hurt his hand when he was involved in the first lap crash at Valencia caused by Alvaro Bautista trying to avoid Andrea Dovizioso.

Hayden will now have to leave the testing responsibilities of the GP0 to team mate Valentino Rossi and the satellite Ducati riders.
