World Sidecar Champions Tim Reeves and Greg Cluze will miss a pre-season test in Croatia as Reeves has suffered a back injury.

“This has set us back in our preparation for the World Championship, but we have some other options for other tests. I will be working hard with my back specialist to get sorted,” said Reeves.  

Cluze added: “I am disappointed, but we must be 100 per cent for the season. And it will let me spend more time at home; I have just become the proud father of lovely twin girls.  My wife Donna and I are just over the moon, and we are all well.”
