It was on his bike that Australian Mark Webber, in Formula 1 since 2002, was hit by a car.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred around 12:40 PM (local time) near Port Arthur in western Tasmania while he was participating in a stage of the ‘Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge’. This event, organized by Geoff Donohue, spans 250 km and includes several disciplines such as mountain biking, kayaking, and trekking.<\/p>\n
While in an initial diagnosis the driver was said to be seriously injured, Geoff Donohue declared after the operation: \u00ab The operation is a success, a pin has been inserted, and now he is recovering gradually. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab He suffers from some scratches on his left forearm and more seriously, a fractured right leg, but he has undergone a series of tests that indicate everything is fine, \u00bb he continues.<\/p>\n
\u00ab He will stay in the hospital for at least three days, probably less than a week. I spoke to him before his operation and he was already thinking about his return. I think Mark is capable of flying, which will allow him to return to Europe. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The Red Bull driver did not participate in the testing sessions in Barcelona. However, considering his fracture, he might miss most of the preparation program for 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
