It looks like Bernd Hiemer will have a lot harder time to defend his title this year. Bernd Hiemer injured himself badly during training with the KTM Miglio team on the Italian Ottobiano track.
The landing of a jump went wrong and Hiemer was launched over the handlebars. He hit the ground hard. A fast visit to a special hospital in Milan didn't bring good news. Diagnosis: left elbow and right wrist broken several times.
At present Hiemer is on the way to Bad Newstadt where he will be operated this week. Hiemer has more than 50 bone fragments floating around in his wrist. It's pretty certain Hiemer won't be there to race in the opening rounds of the season.
We wish Bernd all the best in his recovery.
