Nakano hospitalised after morning fall.
Shinya Nakano's Czech Grand Prix may have come to a premature end after the amiable Japanese was hospitalised with concussion after a huge morning practice fall.
Nakano high-sided from his D'Antin Yamaha at well over 200kph, and both he and his M1 were sent cartwheeling through the Brno gravel and into the tyre wall.
Shinya Nakano's Czech Grand Prix may have come to a premature end after the amiable Japanese was hospitalised with concussion after a huge morning practice fall.
Nakano high-sided from his D'Antin Yamaha at well over 200kph, and both he and his M1 were sent cartwheeling through the Brno gravel and into the tyre wall.
Fortunately, the bouncing bike (which was totaly destroyed) missed Shinya and despite being airlifted to a nearby hospital he appears to have suffered nothing more than concussion. As a result he won't be riding this afternoon, but could potentially return for tomorrow's race.
Nakano had qualified a provisional eighth yesterday, one place behind the top Yamaha of Carlos Checa.
