Nicky Hayden, the Drive M7 Aspar rider who had went under the knife less than two weeks ago, is now making an attempt to participate in the upcoming round of the MotoGP at Catalunya. The former MotoGP world champion will look to ride his Drive M7 machinery in Friday’s free practice session in order to find out how much he has recovered so far. The news must be little surprising for Hayden’s fans, as unlike Jorge Lorenzo and DaniPedrosa, Nicky did not have a minor surgery. The 32-year old American rider had undergone an arthroscopic cleaning procedure on his right wrist after he faced severe pain in right wrist at Mugello.
This was not the first venue where Hayden felt this pain in his wrist, as he experienced the same pain while taking part in both French and Spanish Grand Prix. Unfortunately, Hayden’s pain got more severe only by the time he reached Italy to participate in the sixth round of the world championship. After which Nicky finally decided to take his doctor’s advice. As a result, Nick had to miss last race in Mugello. However, now the experienced rider is looking to get back into action, but he is not stupid enough to take any risk that can further damage his wrist or comeback. That is why he had chosen to take part in the practice session only.
Giving an update about his condition, Hayden said that his wrist is much better than before, but it’s been only a week ago when he had the surgery, so it’s tough for him to say how well he will do in Barcelona. The rider also said that he have to wait a little more to determine his fitness level and also to know whether he can really go for the race on this weekend. He said he will make a shot in FP1 in order to see how he feels and then discuss it with his doctors and team to know whether he can take part in the race.
Hayden said that obviously he would be upset to miss another race, as it will make two races without any points. However, they need to think wisely by keeping the future in mind as they need to use both head and heart to make this decision, said Nick. Thus, they will adopt wait and see policy and stay positive.
Talking about the track in Montmelo, Hayden said that the track at the venue is fast and tough, as it has nearly everything from long corners to lean angles. Thus, if they save the soft tyre for the last part of the race it can really give them an edge in terms of grip, Nick added.
Just as soft tyre can give Hayden an edge in Catalunya, you too can benefit from the high performance gears and helmets of J&S Accessories that are available at its online store in wide variety and at affordable rates.
