[visordown.com] - Crutchlow to miss Argentina GP due to hand injury





IT HAS been announced the Cal Crutchlow will not be racing in Argentina due to the hand injury he sustained after a crash at the second round of the season in Austin, Texas.

Crutchlow had to undergo surgery after the incident as not only did he suffer from a dislocated right little finger, but after further x-rays it was confirmed he had fractured the finger which required a stabilising pin.

After surgery and due to the amount of pain in the right hand Crutchlow would not be able to use the front brake correctly endangering himself and other riders on the circuit and therefore has decided to pull out of the Argentina GP - a new addition to the MotoGP calendar.

The Ducati Team test-rider Michele Pirro will replace Crutchlow for this one race as he continues treatment in the UK to ensure he is back for the next round in Jerez.

The Brit said: “I am very sad to let the team down like this because I was really looking forward to racing in Argentina."

"On the Tuesday after Austin I had some scans on my hand and we saw that my finger was still dislocated from the crash and also broken so Dr. Chao decided to put a pin in to stabilize it.

Crutchlow concluded: "Unfortunately I’m still feeling too much pain in my right hand, my knuckles are the most painful part and I’m not in condition to race this weekend."
