Tom Sykes left the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham yesterday, where he was hospitalized following a bad accident during Race 2 in Donington. The BMW rider wanted to send a message to everyone, reassuring them about his health conditions.
“Here we are leaving the hospital exactly one week after entering it. I have so many people to thank, but thankfully they all know who they are. Especially all of the medical staff from trackside at Donington, all the way to my stay through the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham. What an amazing job they’ve all done. Also, my technical sponsors Dainese and Shark helmets for doing an unbelievable job.”
Regarding his health conditions, he added: “I have 10 broken right ribs and 3 of those ribs with a double fracture so essentially 13 fractures in the right rib cage (not ideal when you enjoy laughing). “Also a fracture to the left ankle but that doesn’t count when ribs are involved. That is essentially the first hurdle done. Now I will focus on recovery and time with family and friends for my return. I want to thank everybody for the get well wishes. These are really appreciated and really do makes things that little bit easier. “I really do appreciate and love the support.”
