Damon Buckmaster should learn the full extent of his shoulder injury after Dr. Arthur Ting examines the Yamaha/Graves Yamaha rider’s X-rays today in California. “We don’t know how serious it is yet. It might be very minor,” Yamaha Team Manager Tom Halverson told Roadracingworld.com late Monday evening. “We FedEx’ed the X-rays to Ting, so we should know more (Tuesday)” As for Buckmaster’s bruised lung, or pulmonary contusion, he is breathing normally on his own. “All things considered,” said Halverson, “he really looks pretty good.” Buckmaster was not endurance testing tires, as originally speculated by his teammate Jason DiSalvo, and was on a new tire at the time of the crash, said Halverson. “He just got too greedy with the throttle in a bad spot. The track drops away just a little bit there, and the guys have to wait just an instant before they get on the throttle the way that they are used to.” After an overnight stay, Buckmaster was released from Halifax Medical Center mid-day Monday.
