Brian Hsu calls time-out
By Sean Lawless on 29th Dec 15
Team Suzuki World MX2 rider Brian Hsu is facing a two-month recovery period after undergoing surgery on his left hand and wrist.The 17-year-old crashed at the Motolive event in Milan last month.
"Brian was very unlucky at Milan on a track that was perhaps too easy and he crashed quite heavily on his left hand,” said General Manager Stefan Everts.
"He'll now head to Taiwan to see some family over the holiday period and continue his recovery and physio.
"He will then be back in January where he'll attend school and we hope he can think about riding as soon as he is fully fit and ready.
"It is important that he doesn't rush this type of injury and we just want to see him healthy and set for racing.”
Hsu is expected to make his debut as a full member of the MX2 team at round three of the world championship on March 28 in Valkenswaard.
His team-mate Jeremy Seewer is recovering from an operation to repair part of the bone structure in his mouth and to replace several teeth after a practice crash earlier in the year.
"I had the problem with my mouth and had been using some fake teeth for quite a while,” the 21-year-old explained.
"I had been waiting until the off-season to have the operation and it meant 10 days of not doing much but the problem is almost fixed.
"We have been pushing really hard on the racebike for next year and Stefan has been very strong with the work we wanted to do on the engine. I'm sure we'll see improvements for next season.”
