Suzuki MotoGP rider Alvaro Bautista breaks shoulder

Alvaro Bautista

Bautista has yet to make an impact in his debut MotoGP season



Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista has had surgery to mend a broken shoulder after being involved in a motocross accident in training for the French Grand Prix.



The 25-year-old Spaniard, who stepped up from the 250cc class at the end of last season, suffered what was called a "simple break" to his clavicle.



He should be fit to ride at Le Mans on 23 May, although with the chance of some pain and restricted movement.



As a result the team currently have no plans to replace him for the race.

3 up and counting:



- Lorenzo’s broken hand while training.

- Rossi’s injured shoulder while training.

- Bautista too.



This lack of training time is stupid, who thought of it?

I think these MotoGP boys want to go too fast on those MotoX bikes, forgetting they are not MotoX professionals.

Only a few -- like Dovizioso, or Simon -- have actually competed in MotoX when younger. They are less likely to have bad crashes, and they cna enjoy beating Valentino Rossi every time they train together

Certainly, they have not been left with much alternative. This is the only way they have to experience the same adrenaline they feel when racing Gp bikes. So it's good training. But they should also take it a bit easier

I do understand it is good, even great training. Riders are looking to be able to train as much as possible, and being so limited in MotoGP bikes and tracks, with less practice time and less days during off Season is stupid!



The problem in itself is not Riders trying to train as much as possible, the problem is Stupid Duhrna's decisions as usual!





 
i'm not saying they shouldnt train on bikes... but maybe they should do supermoto rather than moto x?.

. and i mean supermoto on 100% tarmac not those stupid half tarmac half dirt tracks..
 
They probably enjoy riding motocross as a bit of fun as well as training. No doubt it is fun riding MotoGP but it is also extremely serious business. Where as getting out and doing some training ripping up a mx track probably helps them keep the little kid enjoyment in riding bikes. After all most of these guys are only just out of kid status.



I don't see any problem in it. It is a risky sport and these guys are adrenaline junkies. As I say to my boys all the time, "if you play sometimes you get hurt, dust it of and get back out there".

I agree but you can't just 'dust off' a busted shoulder. Training is no good if it ..... you up for the thing your training for. they could just as easily have had a career ending injury. At the end of the day they need to train and stay sharp but they also have a responsibility to their team and sponsors.
