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.
