SOMEONE STOLE STEVEN FROSSARD’S KNEE BRACE AFTER HIS ACL SURGERY…AND HE COULDN’T RIDE WITHOUT IT

Yamaha Grad Prix rider Steven Frossard underwent ACL surgery for his injured knee and showed up to race in Fermo, Italy, five days later. Frossard had a modified knee brace made that didn’t rest against his surgery scar. He rode Saturday with the brace and thought that he could get some points the next day, but…….

“I really wanted to try and get some top ten positions or some points in Italy but it was hard out there. I knew Fermo would be heavy because of the jumps and the hills. Even though it was only five days after surgery I had enough feeling in the injury to want to attempt the motos and after adjusting my knee brace to make it more comfortable on the area where I’d had the operation I couldn’t believe it when it was stolen Sunday morning! It meant I had no extra support on the knee and it was too risky.”
