CS Santosh to fly back to India, remains under observation

TIL Desk Sports/ Renowned off-road motorcycle racer CS Santosh continues to be “under observation” but has been cleared to fly back to India, his team Hero MotoSports said on Tuesday, days after he suffered a crash at the ongoing Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia.

The 37-year-old Santosh, who was representing the two-wheeler manufacturing giant in one of the world’s biggest rallies, suffered the crash last Wednesday and was airlifted to a hospital in Jeddah.

“Santosh is stable and continues to be under observation. Based on scans and assessments, he has been cleared to be flown back to India, where he will be attended by the local doctors,” Hero MotoSports Team Rally said in a statement.
