Ducati factory rider Nicky Hayden has undergone a minor surgical intervention on his wrist. According to the rider's tweets, the operation's goal was to remove some old scar tissue, and was nothing too complicated.
The Ducati American rider got two fractures in his wrist in August last year ar Indianapolis, after a very serious crash, followed by another wipeout at Aragon.
Since the factory team is not attending the next week tests in Austin, Texas at the Circuit of the Americas with the Yamaha and Honda works teams and LCR Honda, it's most likely that the team management decided to take this step, and leave Hayden enough time to fully recover for the Jerez pre-season official tests March 23-25.
