MOTO3: SOUTH AFRICAN TEENAGER IS PLAYING CATCH-UP AFTER HIS SECOND INJURY LAY-OFF
South Africa's Moto3 sensation Ruche Moodley hopes to make up for lost time in the rest of his rookie season after recently returning from his second injury layoff.
After a great start to the season, the teenager missed two races early in the season after fracturing his right arm at Jerez. Two races later his right shoulder was hurt badly in a crash at Mugello which forced him to sit out for another four races.
The Denssi Motorsport KTM rider, a product of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, made a solid comeback at the Austria Grand Prix last weekend.
He finished 17th to just miss out on the points. And he is confident of being in the mix again this weekend at the Hungary MotoGP.
"The recovery was longer than a month as they couldn't operate on it because it was quite an awkward injury.
