Former 250cc Grand Prix Champion Rich Oliver is on track today at Pikes Peak International Raceway, less than four weeks after badly breaking his right forearm and losing parts of toes on one foot in a nasty crash at Sears Point Raceway.

Oliver’s arm was plated back together and bears a 10-inch scar running from mid-palm to elbow, where it was opened up to relieve pressure.

Oliver crashed going into the Carousel at Sears Point and ended up in the haybales outside the corner.
