Hayden uncertain for Brno

Nicky Hayden could miss out on the upcoming Grand Prix at Brno this weekend. The American took part in the Supermoto event at the X Games in Los Angeles. Hayden hurt his right heel when he made a heavy landing during practice for the event on Friday August 1 but hopes the injury won't prevent him from riding at Brno.

Speaking about the whole incident Hayden said: "Hopefully I'll be fit for Brno. I didn't crash, I just landed wrong. I'm not sure if my foot came off the 'peg or what, but it feels pretty fragile. I'm pretty bummed out about it because I want to get out there and finish this season strong.

"Also, I can't wait to try out the new surface at Brno. The last couple of years the surface has gotten quite old, not really bumpy but just so abrasive and cracked, so I think with a brand new surface the track is going to be awesome. I heard they didn't just reseal it, or just put something on top, they did it the right way and started over. That's going to be crucial for tyre wear, so we'll probably have a bigger range of tyres than we normally do, both front and rear, to make sure we've got something."
