During Saturday’s MXGP qualifying race Nagl made contact with another rider soon after the start, crashing as a result. At this point Max was hit in the ankle. Knowing something wasn’t as it should be with his left ankle he immediately rode back to the pit area, taking no further part in the race. X-rays at the track confirmed a fracture to his ankle, with Max taken immediately to Halle Hospital where he underwent minor surgery. As a result of his injury and subsequent surgery Max will take no further part in the MXGP of Germany. Max will undergo further investigations in Belgium on Monday to determine an exact recovery time. -- This extended racing season (as compared to the ama) has some interesting points such as recovery time for injuries ... So giving up the points lead this weekend does not mean the championship for this Husky rider is lost just yet.
Bummer2!! Herlings has a monster lead ... Don't count him out yet but expect their racing to step up and pass him in points ... AC222 is hurting from last week and that other SUZ rider in ~3rd place is all banged up ... FIM guys take a licking and keep on ticking ....
Herlings will bounce straight back as soon as its plated, And as for AC222 - the man is even harder than I thought he was! I just took a month out from riding due to a bruised thumb/palm that was giving me no end of pain and hes riding with this !!
ouch! +1 I avoid the crash vids and don't want to see the RV or ET or other crashes more than once. Had to take a powder and go do something else after the ET crash
