John hurts rib in testing, should race Misano

From Crash.net

 

John Hopkins sustains a rib injury at Brno, but is expected to race at Misano.

 

John Hopkins has more injury woes to contend with after hurting his rib in fall during the Czech Republic Grand Prix weekend, a problem that went on to force him out of the two-day test at Brno.

Hopkins has been at the behest of various problems this season but came to the latest round of MotoGP ready to put them behind him as the embarked on his comeback round having missed the last three races due to a leg injury.

However, while a couple of falls during practice don't appear to have aggravated the leg anymore, they have seemingly caused a further rib injury for the popular Anglo-American, forcing him to end his testing exercise after only a few laps.

This injury is from Friday free practice crash, not from testing!

From motogp.com - "the team were testing without rider John Hopkins due to the Anglo-American having displaced an intercostal muscle in a weekend tumble. Hopkins´condition does not put his participation at the next round at Misano in doubt,....." If you guys get the chance have a look at motogp.com at the moment some good articles on kawasaki and whats in store for next year. (Malandri and 3rd bike are the talk).
