Marko Kovalainen was one of the first professional MX riders who put his trust in Moto-Master and has been using our products all during his career. Marco was preparing for a serious shot at the 2008 MX3 world title when he experienced a tragic mid-winter training accident in Spain. Here are his personal comment's"
"Hello, everybody, After all those months not seen me on a racetrack some explanations about my absence.
In the afterseasonbrake i made a deal with Racingbike Finland to race for them the Finnish Championship and the MX3 World Championship with KTM, i was very happy with that because i liked the bike very much and getting the chance to go for a World title with help from them that motivated me a lot. But in the pre-season preparation i got injured.........
I shattered my femur and broke both hands in a spectacular crash in the pre-season training in Spain.That was not the best time to get a big injury like that.
I was ridding only for 8 minutes on a nice private track when the hub off my rearwheel broke, the wheel blocked at the take-off off an big dubble jump and i knew immediately that i would get badly injured.
My leg hitted the handelbar and my hands the ground, all were broken........
I had the same day the operation in Spain and after 2 days i was released from the hospital.
Now after 5months off revalidation, i m back on the bike for 1 week and i start thinking my first race. Training goes well, much better than i been expecting and i will come back in racing in the next coming weeks. I been losing much points already in the Mx3 World championship but i will do my best to get some good results for all the people who are standing by my side during those long months off revalidation and all my sponsors who still believe in me".
