Anthony Gobert crashed his Yamaha YZF-R7 in the first half of the first Superbike qualifying session at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire Friday afternoon.

The session was red-flagged and restarted after Gobert was transported to Concord Hospital for X-rays.

According to Yamaha Crew Chief Tom Houseworth, Gobert suffered a suspected broken right arm and a suspected hyperextended neck. But, Houseworth said, “everything works.”

Gobert crashed in turn eight, a fast right-hand kink in the back section of the course.

Doctors in the Infield Care Center at NHIS later reported that Gobert suffered a compound fracture of his right elbow.

But X-rays at the hospital revealed that Gobert had not broken his elbow, although bone was visible with the skin torn away, and that he did not have a hyperextended neck. But he did separate his shoulder.
