MotoGP Aragon: Hayden: I had a little accident and broke my thumb
Nicky Hayden faces a complicated Aragon MotoGP weekend after b💮reaking his right thumb on a minimoto bike.
The Aspar rider, 19th in the championship but just one place behind the top Open ✤Honda of Jack Miller, said:
"Aragon is next, it's quite a unique track with a lot of elevation and it's quite technical, with some blind entries and downhill braking. It's certainly not an easy track and I haven't made it any easier this year beca🧔use I had a little accident training on minimotos in Italy and broke my thumb.
"I have seen the doctors and had the scans and I am optimistic I'll still be able to race but we will have to see on Friday how I feel. Unfortun꧃ately it's the right thumb, which is always a little bit worse, but I have been doing a lot of therapy in the last days and I de🔯finitely feel a bit better.
"We weren't having an easy season as it is and this won't make it easier but injuries are as much a part oꦚf this game as finding a set-up for your bike! Hopefully we can go there and still have a positive weekend."
The 2006 world champi﷽on won't be the only rider at less than full fitness 🐠this weekend, Ducati's Andrea Iannone dislocating his shoulder in a training accident last week.
Hayden is yet to confir⭕m his 2016 plans amid rumours of a switch to World S🍨uperbike.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 year𒉰s and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
