Andrea Dovizioso Breaks Collarbone In MX Training Crash

MotoGP's winter break has claimed another victim. After Ducati's Nicky Hayden broke a shoulder blade and cracked some ribs at an indoor dirt track facility, Monster Tech 3 Yamaha's Andrea Dovizioso has announced that he has broken his right collarbone while riding his motocross bike. The Italian had been training on his MX bike at a track near his home in Forli, when he crashed, fracturing the collarbone. He was taken to a local hospital, where his shoulder was immobilized, and where Dovizioso announced his misfortune on his Twitter page, posting a photo of himself with the upper half of his body in bandages, but still wearing his motocross pants and boots.

Dovizioso now faces a race against time to be fit for the first official MotoGP test at Sepang, which starts on January 31st. Dovizioso did not reveal the severity of the broken collarbone, but under normal circumstances, motorcycle racers have broken collarbones plated and are ready to return to action within a couple of weeks. Until the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team issues an official press release, we will not know the precise details of the injury.
