Yamaha factory Supersport and Graves Yamaha Superstock racer Aaron Gobert, 23, is recovering at his off-season home near Sydney, Australia following surgery to remove a plate from his left wrist and a rod from his right leg.

The plate was inserted into Gobert’s wrist after he broke it in a crash at Road America in 2003, and the rod was inserted into his leg following his massive crash at Daytona International Speedway in March 2002.

Speaking at the Dunlop tire test at Daytona earlier this month, Gobert told Roadracingworld.com, “My wrist is acting up a bit, so I’m going to go back to the doctor in Australia to see if he can take the plate out of my wrist and get some strength back in it. I’d like to go see Dr. (Arthur) Ting, but I want to go home for Christmas.”

Gobert underwent surgery December 18 at the hands of Professor (and Dr.) Ron Sekel at St. George Private Hospital in Sydney, according to his mother/manager Sue Gobert. Gobert hopes to be strong enough to participate in Yamaha’s next test session, scheduled in January.
