Alex Hoffman ne courera pas à Estoril

Alex Hoffman ne participera pas au GP du Portugal...

Kawasaki's Alex Hofmann will not race in this weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix at Estoril after being diagnosed with a fractured scaphoid in his left wrist, sustained in a crash during a pre-event promotion in Estoril on Wednesday afternoon.

The 24-year-old German rider was taking part in an organised MotoGP parade at Estoril's seafront casino when he was highsided from his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR and landed heavily on his wrist.

Initially it was thought that Hofmann had only suffered bruising and swelling, but an x-ray taken today, once the swelling had reduced sufficiently, confirmed that the Kawasaki rider had fractured his scaphoid, together with another small bone in his wrist.

Unable to grip the handlebars of his Ninja ZX-RR properly as a result of the injury, the Kawasaki Racing Team made the decision to withdraw Hofmann from the event, rather than risking further injury by him riding when not fully fit.

Understandably, given his impressive performance in the opening race of the season at Jerez just five days ago, Hofmann is devastated not to be racing this weekend.

"I am so disappointed and frustrated," declared Hofmann. "After last weekend's result at Jerez, I was so looking forward to coming here and scoring another good finish. I just can't believe that a silly mistake during a promotional event has left me unable to race this weekend, and facing a real fight back to fitness for the next race in China."

"If there were any way I could race then I'd definitely be out there, but the scaphoid fracture makes it difficult to hold the handlebars at a standstill, never mind at race pace. Estoril is a very physical track and my wrist simply isn't up to the job of muscling the bike around here."

"Too many top racers have ended their careers through coming back too early after fracturing their scaphoid, which is why we decided that the best course of action would be to withdraw from this weekend's race, rather than risk further injury. Although I'm devastated to be missing the Portuguese Grand Prix, I need to put this weekend behind me and focus completely on getting myself back to full fitness for the race in Shanghai in two weeks' time," added a very dejected Hofmann.

"For a motorcycle racer, a fractured scaphoid is a serious injury," explained Kawasaki Team Coordinator, Michael Bartholemy. "It leaves the rider unable to grip the handlebars properly and makes controlling a bike as powerful as the Ninja ZX-RR at such a physical circuit as Estoril very difficult indeed."

"Also, if the scaphoid doesn't heal properly then it can cause problems for a rider in the future. Obviously we want Alex to recover fully from this injury, which is why we made the decision to withdraw him from this weekend's event, to give the fracture a better chance of healing before the next race."

The scaphoid bone is found on the thumb side of the hand, within the anatomical snuffbox (the hollow between thumb and index finger). Fractures to the scaphoid are common, especially amongst motorcycle racers, and are normally caused by falling on an outstretched hand and hyper-extending the wrist joint.

But scaphoid fractures are also particularly slow to heal due to poor circulation to the bone, and even a rapidly immobilised fracture can require surgery. Under normal circumstances, a fully immobilised scaphoid fracture takes between six and eight weeks to heal completely.

Etonnant. D'apres ce qu'il disait ca n'avait pas l'air si grave que ca !!!

ils vont surrement arété ces "show" en ville.

dommage pour lui, ça doit être vraiment rageant de rater un we de course à la suite d'un évènement pareil.

Qui pour remplacer Hoffmann?
Parce qu'un scaphoide c'est minimum 2 mois out...
Peut etre Yanagawa, non?

Dans quelles circonstances un pilote peut il être remplacé...?

Il peut etre remplacé quand il est pas là!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oui mais n'importe quand...?

Admettons le cas de Hoffman, peut il etre remplacé?
Le pilote se blesse lors du Worm-up, peut il être remplacé?
etc
etc

En gros, y'a-t-il un règlement spécifique pour faire courir les pilotes d'essais?

Et bien Nakano courera seul....

NAKANO RIDES ALONE FOR KAWASAKI AT ESTORIL

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR rider, Shinya Nakano, completed a heavy work load of testing during today's two hours of free practice at Estoril, finishing in the top ten with the eighth fastest time.

The Japanese ace will be Kawasaki's sole representative in Sunday's Portuguese Grand Prix following the forced withdrawal of teammate Alex Hofmann.

As a consequence Nakano is carrying the full responsibility of evaluating tyres, chassis and engine settings. The 27-year-old Japanese rider is in strong early season form coming off an impressive fifth in last Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.

Hofmann fractured the scaphoid bone in his left wrist when he crashed in a pre-event promotion in Estoril on Wednesday. Wisely, team management have decided to rest Hofmann to allow him a full recovery for the next race, the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

The Kawasaki Racing Team do not have the benefit of previous test sessions at Estoril, and today was the first appearance at the demanding 4.1km Atlantic Coast circuit for the 2005 model Ninja ZX-RR.

Apart from Bridgestone tyre tests, Nakano and Kawasaki engineers worked on crucial adjustments to the engine control systems for the recently introduced big-bang firing order motor.

The data collected today will prove invaluable in fine-tuning race set-up in tomorrow's practice and qualifying sessions. Apart from electronics, it is hoped revised gearbox ratios will improve acceleration and top speed.

After rain showers interrupted the morning free practice, the afternoon session was conducted in sunny but cool conditions. Track temperatures started at 32 degrees, but dropped to 27 degrees by the end of the session.

C'est dommage la course sera moi belle sans lui......

MDR

Je sais pas qui c'est qu'il pourrait mettre a la place de hofmann, biaggi par exemple il ont a peu près les meme résultat en ce momen puiscomme va falloir qu'il se retrouve un guidon!!!lol :p :D :D

Plus sérieusement je vois pas grand monde que kawa pourrait dans l'eventualité qu'il loupe plusieur GP!!!! :reflechi:

Bah ils n'ont pas de pilote essayeur...???

Olivier Jacques pressenti pour le remplacer...!!!

rien de concret pour le moment, Kawasaki attends le bilan du docteur, mais le pilote Français pourrait effectuer un ou deux GP sur Kawasaki !!!

Affaire à suivre

Domage pour eux......

NAKANO RIDES ALONE FOR KAWASAKI AT ESTORIL

NAKANO COURT SEUL A ESTORIL

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR rider, Shinya Nakano, completed a heavy work load of testing during today's two hours of free practice at Estoril, finishing in the top ten with the eighth fastest time.

Le pilote de la Ninja ZX-PR a effectué beaucoup de travail aujourd'hui lors des essais libres, finissant dans le top 10.

The Japanese ace will be Kawasaki's sole representative in Sunday's Portuguese Grand Prix following the forced withdrawal of teammate Alex Hofmann.

Le pilote Japonais sera le seul à représenter kawa lors deu GP du Portugal, suite à la blessure de Hoffman (pas trop capté le coup du "withdrawal" )

As a consequence Nakano is carrying the full responsibility of evaluating tyres, chassis and engine settings. The 27-year-old Japanese rider is in strong early season form coming off an impressive fifth in last Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.

En conséquences, Nakanon prendra seul la responsabilité de tester les pneus, le chassis et les réglages.

Hofmann fractured the scaphoid bone in his left wrist when he crashed in a pre-event promotion in Estoril on Wednesday. Wisely, team management have decided to rest Hofmann to allow him a full recovery for the next race, the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

Hoffman, qui s'est fracturé le scaphoid de la main gauche en chutan lors d'une séance de démonstration à Estoril, à été mis de côté pour ce GP, afin de le récupérer pour la prochaine course à Shangai en meilleure santé.

Apart from Bridgestone tyre tests, Nakano and Kawasaki engineers worked on crucial adjustments to the engine control systems for the recently introduced big-bang firing order motor.

Nakanon et le tema doivent bosser sur tous les réglages, les pneus, et tous les changements qu'ont pu apporter le nouveau moteur Big-Bang.

Merki FracK !

Pendant la présentation du GP j'ai vu Hofmann qui s'était bien vautré à une démonstration.
Comme j'avais ni vu les essais, ni été sur internet j'ai découvert tous les blessés ce matin et je savais plus qui s'était cassé quoi.
Au début j'ai cru que c'était Giber qui s'était pété le scaphoïde...

Nop... C'est bien Sete, et peut etre Tamada, ils en sauront plus la semaine prochaine...

Pauvre Makoto, moi je l'aime bien.... :(
