According to a statement, Salzburg will now take a plane to Munich. In the coming days, medical checks in Austria are on the agenda for both his injured hand and his back.
Walkner had a bad fall on the penultimate stage on Saturday, and fears of a serious back injury did not materialize in the end. After a longer transfer to the hospital, no broken bones were found there, and the KTM driver did not suffer any serious injuries to his spine.
“I’m doing much, much better than yesterday, there’s no comparison. I have the feeling that my whole back and muscles can have recovered very well over the night,” said Walkner, who finished the Dakar in ninth place had to give up on Sunday. “I’m happy to walk away from the race upright.”
