Alex Rins sustained a crash in free practice 3 for this weekend's Americas GP on the Circuit of the Americas, that caused a fracture to his left arm, meaning he will take no further part in this weekend's activities.

The Suzuki Ecstar rider was on his first lap of a new run when he incurred in a high-side with his GSX-RR at corner 19.

Right after the crash he was transferred to the medical center for medical controls and the X-rays indicated a “radius and ulnar dislocated fracture of the left wrist”.

He then underwent further medical treatments at the University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin. They aimed to stabilize his fracture before transferring him to his hometown in Spain.

At his arrival at the University Medical Center Brackenridge, Rins was evaluated both by the orthopaedic and trauma surgery team and they confirmed a displaced fracture to his left wrist. The team led by Dr. Austin Hill, Orthopedic Traumatologist at the University Medical Center Brackenridge, took him to the operating room and set his broken wrist and temporarily fixed it with pins.

After this he will be able to be flown back home to Spain, and once the swelling is decreased he will be able to undergo his definitive surgery. Everything went very well, he is comfortable and he will likely leave the hospital today.
