Nicky Hayden's preparation for the 2012 season has suffered a setback. The Marlboro Ducati rider crashed while training on an indoor flat track course, breaking his left shoulder blade and fracturing two ribs. The recovery period for the injury could force him to miss the Sepang MotoGP test scheduled for the end of January.
The accident is a second setback for Hayden's preseason testing. The American was forced to miss the Valencia post-race test after fracturing his scaphoid during the first-lap crash at the final race of the 2011 season. In a stroke of bitter irony, Hayden had taken to a motorcycle for the first time since breaking his wrist at Valencia, and crashed riding flat track on a special indoor facility, near his and his parents' home in Owensboro, Kentucky. In a fall Hayden describes as "a freak accident" in the Ducati press release, he fell heavily, breaking his shoulder blade and fracturing two ribs.
