JIMMY MOORE RE-INJURES PREVIOUSLY BROKEN ARM
No Limit Motorsports Suzuki rider Jimmy Moore had surgery on Monday, April 5th to repair the arm he previously broke in a fall last June in Brainerd International Raceway’s 180-mph Turn One. He re-injured it in a near-crash at round two of the AMA Chevrolet Superbike Championship at California Speedway on April 2nd.
Jimmy had a near high-side on his GSX-R1000 in a Friday morning practice session, impacting his left arm on the top triple clamp and forcing him to sit out the rest of the race weekend.
The following Monday, Jimmy flew to San Jose, California to see Dr. Arthur Ting for consultation and subsequent surgery. Dr. Ting spent over two hours repairing the arm, attaching a larger, higher strength compression plate than was previously used. Jimmy returned to his home in Eugene, Oregon at the end of the week, and will return to Dr. Ting’s clinic on a regular basis. Jimmy will begin rehabilitation on the arm soon and should return to action for the No Limit Motorsports Suzuki team by, ironically, Brainerd (June 25-27), round seven of the AMA series.
