The newly signed Hungarian rider for the Balaton Racing Team 250cc Balázs Németh, has broken the fourth metacarpal in his left hand during the first day of testing in Valencia.
He was out on his final run of the day when he lost control of his Aprilia and crashed. It was initially thought that he had suffered no injury but after some discomfort with his hand he was seen at the circuit medical centre where the break was spotted.
The 23-year-old, underwent surgery on Thursday where he was fitted with a titanium plate to his fourth metacarpal and also had the fifth metacarpal pinned due to a dislocation. He will now be returning to his Hungarian home where he has been told that he must rest his hand for the next 30 days before having the pin removed, he can then return to the track.
The older brother of Spanish rider Pol Espargaro, Aleix, is now to be a replacement for Németh this weekend at Assen.
