Top US BMX rider Connor Fields back from hand injury (The Associated Press)
The pink scar that winds from the bottom of Connor Fields’ left hand and past his wrist serves as a reminder of the injury that derailed a promising BMX season. While the hand he hurt in the spring isn’t fully healed, Fields said it feels well enough to do whatever he needs to do on the bike. It allows just enough range of motion to allow the 23-year-old Fields to move the handlebars around a course with lots of twists and bumpy hills.
