Team Suzuki Alstare Brux rider Max Neukirchner suffered a high-speed crash at the InFront official World Superbike test at Imola in Italy and has damaged four vertebra.

He was taken to hospital in Bologna and, after X-rays, was fitted with a cast to prevent any further damage. He stayed in the hospital overnight, but is scheduled to fly back to his local hospital in Germany for further investigation today.
Neukirchner's setback is a cruel blow to the whole team who have been looking forward to his return since Monza. Until his crash, he had enjoyed his time on the bike and, despite some understandable soreness in his leg, was happy to be back in the saddle again.
