Ian Hutchinson breaks leg. Again.

Eight time TT winner visiting a surgeon in Coventry

IAN HUTCHINSON is feared to have re-broken his leg at the MCN London Motorcycle Show.

The eight-time TT winner was rehearsing for the show when he reportedly twisted his leg in an awkward manner. The Swan Yamaha rider has since been taken to Coventry, to have his leg assessed by the same surgeon who repaired the previous damage.

The suspected injury is to the same leg which Hutchinson badly broke when he was hit at Silverstone at the end of 2010.

Shaun Muir, team owner of Swan Yamaha, has confirmed that Hutchinson has a fresh fracture to his leg but is well away from the original breaks. The Bingly rider will have an external fixator fitted and has hopes to be released from hospital as soon as possible.

Nightmare! I hope it's not going to give him constant problems now, a weak spot that you're always concious of...

Seems like it may be a recurring theme, this wasn't even a bike crash, all he did was twist his leg in an awkward manor! I don't want to imagine what a fast highside would do to it!
