According to Kiwi Rider News in New Zealand, Ben Townley's hip injury is not as bad as first believed. The former world champion crashed at last weekend's round of the Australian Super-X Series, which was being run in his native New Zealand, when he crashed and dislocated his hip. The report describes the prognosis after doctors were preparing him for major surgery: "After Townley was put under a general anaesthetic, doctors tested Townleys hip socket in all positions and was found to be in great condition, and therefore requiring no further operation. Originally doctors assessed Townleys hip to be unstable and requiring a surgical investigation with the view of possible reconstruction."
