KTM posts 'Grabbo' YouTube injury update

KTM Australia has posted the first clip in a three-part YouTube series detailing Ben Grabham's recovery after his horror Condo 750 crash

Fans of desert racing ace Ben 'Grabbo' Grabham can now follow his recovery in the aftermath of his high-speed Condo 750 crash, with KTM Australia recently posting a six-minute clip on its YouTube channel focussing on the racer's accident, injuries, surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.

It's the first of a three-part series that will document Grabham's return to health and racing, providing a rare insight into the lengths these athletes go to in the pursuit of their goals. 
Grabham was contesting this year's Condo 750, held over a testing circuit near the central-western NSW town of Condolbolin over April 6-8, when he struck a mob of kangaroos on his KTM at around 150km/h. The resulting spill saw him sustain a serious spinal injury, plus a number of other minor injuries.
The clip features interviews with Grabham from his bed in Brisbane Private Hospital, plus the two surgeons assisting him in his recovery.
Check out the clip for yourself below...
