Nicky Hayden reveals that he suffered a fracture at Aragon

Seeing Nicky Hayden sommersault over an unproctected barrier during the last GP at the Motorland Aragon and land onto the access road infuriated a lot of fans and put under the magnifying glass once again, circuit safety.
Loris Capirossi and Franco Uncini tried to explain their way out of it, but Ben Spies probably summed it the best with “Gonna complain a bit….

.
they built a track in the middle of nowhere with nothing in sight.
You shouldn’t be able to hit a wall if u try.

dumb” The Ducati rider seemed not to have suffered any injuries after going through a medical check-up at the circuit, but ahead of the Motegi GP and the first of three consecutive races, Hayden hasnow revealed that he is now suffering from a fractured right radius on the same hand that he fractured during qualifying at Indianapolis that forced him to miss the Brno GP.

“I thought I had escaped unscathed from the crash at Aragon, but unfortunately it looks like I picked up another injury,” said Hayden.
“When I got home, my right hand was bothering me a bit, so I went for an X-ray and CT scan, and it turns out I have a fracture in my right radius.

It’s definitely not the best situation, but as it’s not too painful and I have pretty good grip strength, I’m hopeful that it won’t cause too many problems this weekend.
Racing’s full of ups and downs.
We’ll try to ride this one out and hopefully get a decent result in Japan to get a little momentum going and get some confidence back.
