After finishing 9th overall in the second pre-season test at Sepang, Ducati’s Nicky Hayden decided to undergo minor surgery yesterday evening to remove some scar tissue from his wrist.
It looks like the scar tissue is a result of the carpal tunnel surgery that he had in November of 2010, when he was operated on by orthopedist Dr Arthur Ting, of the Freemont Clinic.
The Kentucky Kid will have a little more than two weeks to recover before the final three-day pre-season test starts at Jerez on March 23rd.
