During private preseason testing at the Circuit de Andalucia, Honda Racing UK rider Nathan Harrison was involved in an incident whereby he crashed his motorcycle, resulting in a sprained left ankle.

The ankle that, due to previous injuries, he has had reconstructive operations conducted on previously.

A precautionary check was undertaken on his return to the UK to confirm the diagnosis. On medical inspection, it was decided that he will undergo a small operation to release the swelling and increase the speed at which he can recover.

It is expected that Nathan will make a full recovery and this will likely have no impact on his upcoming season.
