The winter break got off to a bad start for the South African driver who was badly damaged.
It's an unsavory image that fans of Steven Odendaal discovered in the story of his Instagram account. The driver of the NTS RW Racing GP team announced: “Not the best way to start the holiday season and winter break. The following image may be difficult to look at. »
And indeed, sensitive souls refrain. The South African literally cut his foot between the first and second toes as well as between the second and third toes of his left foot. No information was given by the pilot and his team on the circumstances of the accident, nor on the duration of his recovery. We just know that he will be released from hospital this Wednesday and will return home to South Africa to rest.
It's a hard blow for the number 4 who has already not had an easy season and who had started to see the end of the tunnel during the last race, in Valencia, where he entered the points by finishing thirteenth. Ranked twenty-eighth in the Championship, one point behind his teammate, his return to Moto2 is complicated on the NTS machines, the only ones on the field. We can bet that the team will find notable progress during the pre-season tests and that Steven Odendaal, 2 European Moto2016 Champion, will return in great shape and will be able to express his full potential in 2019.
