Exclamation Miguel DuHamel injured in testing at Road Atlanta

If this is true Mid-Ohio may have been the final race for Miguel. Let's hope he recovers fully and (if needed) retires gracefully.

Here's hoping he recovers fully and fast. That's one hard-working rider.

This is weird. I can't find another other reports on this incident on any of the normal racing sites and boards.

He's always been one of my favorites. I hope for a swift recovery. I used to watch his father yvonne race back in the 70s. Another great Canadian racer

I love Miguel, but I hope he retires. He's taken plenty of nasty falls in the past, but IMHO, this is a career ending one. Remember he lost it in the keyhole at Mid-Ohio, and then he loses it during tire testing. Not good.

I've always enjoyed watching him ride. Glad he's healing quickly.
