BMW's Troy Corser will be forced to watch the World Superbike action from his pit garage at Brno in two werks as he will not be fit to race after the Aragon crash which resulted in a broken arm.

The veteran Aussie has undergone an operation to fix the injured radius and ulna bones at Alexandra Hospital in Manchester and is now recovering at home. Surgeon Mike Hayton fixed the fractures with two titanium plates and twelve screws, six per bone.

"The whole team wishes Troy a speedy recovery and we are happy to hear that the surgery went so well. But we have decided that he will definitely not ride at the next round at Brno as his health and safety have highest priority for us," said team boss Bernhard Gobmeier.

"We will then see how his recovery progresses and will decide at a later time if he will participate at the British round at Silverstone end of July. If we will replace Troy by another rider at Brno is not decided yet. Troy is a part of our BMW family and for us the most important thing is that he recovers well and is back to full fitness as soon as possible. We will do anything we can do from our side to support him during his recovery."
