Phillip Island WSBK test: Scassa fractures pelvis

Former MCE British Superbike star Luca Scassa ended the second day of WSBK testing at Phillip Island in hospital after a crash this morning left him with a fractured pelvis.

The Italian went down at the Southern Loop and was taken straight to the medical centre before being transferred to hospital for further tests and X-rays.

Young Frenchman and WSBK rookie Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki) ended the combined tests in 17th but suffered a fall at the same place as Scassa in the first 20 minutes of the final session, resulting in a AC joint subluxation.
