It’s not only Mirraco rider Rob Wise who broke a bone in his body last week. At the LG Action Sports championships in Dallas, Texas, Italian Mirraco rider Alessandro Barbero had a crash in his first run which resulted in a broken collarbone.

With a trip planned for Woodward after the event and also the Dubai X-Games you know that Alessandro is hating life right now dragging his bike and bags back to Italy with one hand. Sometimes riders miraculously heal quicker than the average person so let’s see when Ale will make it back on his Black Pearl.

Al D will also be out for a few weeks with a broken fibula but also he will be back.

Get well soon guys!
