I guess what I'd like to say is that Americans should really be proud of Nicky for the performance he put in at Valencia, because, my God, I was just stunned to see how badly his shoulder was damaged and realize that he raced on this and won the world championship," said Ting's Rehab Specialist, Tuan Nguyen today. "We looked at it and thought, my God, look at that gap![/Quote]
What we found was that Nicky's broken collarbone from 2004 actually never healed," continued Nguyen. "We did an MRI and then looked at it and there was a gap in the old break in his clavicle. The plate was holding it together, but there was a gap between the bones. We also found rotator cuff damage, a labrum tear, and a bone spur on his clavicle.[/Quote]
Hayden said he knew the moment he got up in the gravel trap at Estoril that his shoulder was damaged, but he elected to keep quiet about it. "I did some ultrasound on it, because a day later I could not move it, but by the time I got to Valencia the adrenaline took over. Well, actually, on Friday morning in practice I was like 'This is going to be tough', but then the adrenaline kicked in and I was fine. I forgot about it when I rode after that, honestly. I'm glad I only had to race one race that weekend, though, I can tell you that.[/Quote]
They make them tough in Kentucky,
