Though in pain, Peick completed the race in fourth – his career best.Following the race, JGRMX Yamaha provided an update:“An initial evaluation at the Asterisk Mobile Medical Center determined there was a break, and a subsequent MRI and further analysis led to Peick having a screw inserted to stabilize the broken bone,” JGRMX reports.The team says Peick is “determined to do his best to race” this Saturday at Anaheim II in Angel Stadium.After two of 17 rounds, Peick is fifth overall in the point standings with 32, 15 behind leader Ken Roczen (RCH Suzuki).Photo by Don Williams
