James Toesland will miss at least the next two rounds of World Superbike racing, with continued complications from an injury he sustained in mid-March. The British rider was testing at Motorland Aragon for BMW Motorrad Italia when he crashed, landing on his head and right wrist. It has been a saga of recovery for the former champion, with Spanish doctors originally clearing him to race.

However, Toseland soon found that he had displaced bones cutting off the blood flow to his hand and underwent surgery to insert wires in his wrist. He missed both rounds at Donington Park and Assen and did not race at Monza, though he did participate in practice sessions. Now, Toseland will also miss Misano this weekend and the round at Aragon June 19. “I’m determined to make a come back in Brno,” said Toseland.
