Nagl injury update: OUT for German GP!

World Championship leader Max Nagl has already undergone surgery to repair a fractured tibia sustained at his home GP of Teutschenthal today.

The unlucky German crashed at the start and was hit by accidentally by David Philippaerts resulting in the fractured leg and will not participate in tomorrow’s races.

It is the worst case scenario for the German who had a 30 point lead over an injured Antonio Cairoli and looked to be in control of the series. Now it looks like Max will have to once again to battle through a lot of pain to keep his title hopes alive.

Is it really possible for Max to be back on the bike in two weeks at the Swedish GP? Time will tell but the tough German will attempt do it if it’s humanly possible.
