Anvil TAG Yamaha’s James Rispoli has lost the top of his left little finger after crashing at the Silverstone MCE British Superbike round on Sunday.
The American had to have the tip of the digit removed in surgery yesterday but says he is confident he will be back for the Oulton round at the end of this month.
“We had surgery last night and they lopped off the fingernail and tip of the finger. All in all, everything went well, I’m starting rehab today and we should be ready for Oulton Park,” said the American.
“Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes, we were running really well, it’s all positive at the moment.”
