Cameron Beaubier celebrated Christmas with a cast on his leg. The Daytona Sportbike rider fractured the tibia on his left leg while training on a motocross bike in California.
Beaubier was released from the hospital today and should be able to get back on a motorcycle within four weeks. The start of the Daytona Sportbike season isn't until March so Beaubier should be good to go at the Daytona 200.
"Our best wishes go out to Cameron," said Keith McCarty, Motorsports Racing Division Manager for Yamaha. "We hate to hear about any rider getting injured, and our thoughts are with him. Cameron is proof that there's no off-season in motorcycle racing, and he was on the gas and training hard for his debut in the Daytona 200 aboard the Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha R6. We wish him well and hope to see him back to 100% soon."
Beaubier took five podiums during the 2011 season but never managed to take a win. When the Yamaha rider gets both feet back on the ground again he'll be poised to challenge for the 2012 title.
