KADE WALKER UPDATE
From Team Canada MX
Kade was released from Niguarda Hospital in Milan, Italy this morning and is with his Mother and Trainer in Novara.
He would like to thank the Hospital staff, Team KTM, His Manager, the event Promoter Pro Off Road Racing as well as the Canadian Consulates representative who visited him in the Hospital. ?All involved took amazing care of me and I?m most grateful?.
The Urgency and professionalism of the Off Road Racing staff and their Associated Emergency was outstanding, ?I was not breathing?they probably saved my life.?
The accident occurred when a foot peg broke off in the middle of the whoops section.
Kade helicoptered off the bike and luckily hit a tuff block first before bouncing into the ground face first. He is in great shape considering the seriousness of the accident and has no concussion or broken bones. Kade actually exercised mildly on a stationary bike a couple hours after being released.
Kade, was leading the SXR class at the UEM Supercross Championship Series prior to his crash. He won?t be racing in the final round in Genoa this weekend but will be attending Media Day. He will take a few weeks off at this point, returning home next week.
