While training 2 days after round 1 of the MX Nationals a crash over the bars has left me with a broken collarbone and up to 6 weeks recovery time.
Thankfully I was wearing my new Leatt neck brace which actually snapped during the crash. Without it who knows what injury's I may have been dealing with! (Better cut the straps off my helmet too haha). Luckily I was not training alone and was able to get dropped off at emergency. After having x-rays it was confirmed that I had broken my left clavicle (collarbone). After seeing my GP I will now go to Adelaide on Tuesday to see a specialist to hopefully get back on the bike sooner.
Unfortunately at this stage I will miss round 2 of the MX Nationals, Horsham 2Day Open, round 1 of the Victorian Motocross Championships as well as the Mildura Easter Powersports Weekend Arenacross which I was set to contest both the 250 and 450cc classes.
On the other hand I will be there to watch my mates and some young juniors do battle in front of what will hopefully be a big crowd. Until next time, stay safe!!!
