R
ed Bull GasGas Factory Racing's Daniel
Sanders sustained an injury to his right leg
while training in the Australian Outback on
Sunday, May 28. The incident resulted in him
breaking his right femur. Sanders underwent
a successful surgery to repair the damage
and is feeling good post-op.
The injury is likely to put Daniel (aka
"Chucky") out of action for several months,
but he hopes to be back riding and racing as
soon as possible.
"I'm so annoyed, not to mention disap
-
pointed," Sanders said. "All I was doing was
having fun on the rally bike and had a small
crash, but I've ended up like this with a broken leg.
Thankfully, the surgery seems to have gone well,
which is good news—I'm feeling good, too. It's
going to take a while before I can get back on the
bike and racing again, but I'm going to do my best
to make it happen ASAP."
