Both Ducati MotoGP riders Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden have undergone surgery after testing in Sepang, Malaysia for the 2012 season.
Both surgeries were successful according to reports – Rossi’s surgery was not announced in the press and it is understood it was to remove the rod he had inserted in the leg he injured at Mugello in 2010. Nicky Hayden had further shoulder surgery after injuries were worse than first thought.
