Here's Hammond's DriveTribe post in full:

"It's true, I did fall off a motorbike whilst filming recently for The Grand Tour in Mozambique. I banged my head, yes, along with pretty much everything else apart from my left thumb, which remains un-bruised. Can't tell you more yet about the how and why of it; that's all for later in the year on the show. As for injuries; well put it this way, I don't think I can get a book out of it."

Hammond was badly injured in a car crash back in 2006 while filming or an episode of Top Gear.
