The YZ mounted Motocross star went down in the first corner from the start after making contact with another rider. Everts sustained an injury to his left ankle: Medics diagnosed one of his outer ligaments to be ripped off taking a piece of ankle bone with it.
A need for surgery is not expected, but the six-times world champ's left leg is in plaster and he will be forced to take a break from riding for a period of six weeks in order to completely heal the injury.
Everts will move to the new 'GP' World Championship class on a 450cc four stroke in 2003.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
