After being kept in overnight for medical checks at the hospital in Alca�iz, Karel Abraham was released on Monday morning after being diagnosed with a concussion. Abraham, who crashed out on the first lap, suffered a blow on the head, probably as a result of being hit by his own bike. Abraham returned to the Czech Republic yesterday for further medical checks at the hospital in Brno. He is expecting to race at the next round of MotoGP in Motegi.�
Here's the press release from the team with more details:
Karel Abraham returned to the Czech Republic,�further medical checks awaits him in Brno
Karel Abraham, who suffered nasty crash on the first lap of the Gran Premio de Arag�n, was released from hospital in Alca�iz. Then the Cardion AB Motoracing rider returned to Brno in the Czech Republic for further medical checks. His participation in the upcoming Grand Prix of Japan should not be jeopardised.
Starting from the third row on the grid, Karel Abraham crashed out on the first lap of the race. "Despite the fact that the start is usually one of my biggest weaknesses, this time I started quite well and stayed in the middle of the field. Honestly, I can not tell what happened before the crash," Karel Abraham, who spent yesterday's evening under observation in hospital, said. "All happened too fast."
Cause of Abraham's crash during which the Cardion AB Motoracing rider hit the ground, lost his visor and then was hit by his motorcycle in the helmet, probably was a touch with another rider. Twenty one years old Czech rider walked away from the gravel with help of track marshalls and then underwent a series of medical checks in a nearby hospital in Alca�iz. "Fortunately, I have nothing broken, only a slight concussion."
"I?m glad I didn't suffer any serious injury, but I'm disappointed with the way I ended this race weekend. I produced one of my best performances in the qualifying session and made a promising start to the race, but then I crashed. I want to leave behind this race and focus on the upcoming Grand Prix," he added.
