Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel Injury Up To Date
05 February 2007
Coming back in Europe this week after his injury contracted in Ahaheim last week-end, during the third race of his winter program, Christophe Pourcel will have to rest a few weeks at home. Just after his arrival in Marseille, Christophe moved to Aix en Provence and met Olivier Dufour, the famous ostheopath who take care of numerous French sportsmen. Christophe had another examination to clarify the situation. “Chris had a radio and then a scanner in Aix. Both confirmed that his right tibia was not broken, but damaged in his lower part with a crack in the bone. Fortunately the bone didn’t move and the ligaments are not damaged,” explained his father Roger. “Doctor Dufour put a splint that he will keep for a few weeks, and of course Christophe can’t train and must stay quiet. May be he will be able to go swimming later. Olivier told him that he will have to rest for six weeks, and of course he will check carefully the injury,” said the father of the MX2 World Champion.
