MotoGP star Bradley Smith has revealed that his ankle will not fully recover for four to six months.
The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider suffered ligament damage to his ankle while training on a motocross bike during the winter months.
"It's still taking its time, which is frustrating," Crash.net quotes Smith as saying. "We can't find a solution to speed [the healing] up, but when I went for the final diagnosis it was a four to six month injury and I'm only on 10 to 12 weeks."
Despite the problem, Smith has insisted that he does not feel uncomfortable on the MotoGP bike.
