Fixi Suzuki's Leon Camier has been allowed out of hospital following a operation to screw and pin the broken bones in his foot and has targeted a return to action at the final World Superbike round at Jerez.
The Kent rider was spat off his GSX-R1000 in a big highside yesterday and immediately taken to hospital with seven broken bones in his foot. Three of those have been pinned while Camier also has a hairline fracture of the ankle and a battered elbow.
“I am obviously really disappointed with what happened yesterday and frustrated that I now have to miss some races. As far as the crash goes, I knew the grip was bad and I was riding accordingly in the conditions," said Camier, who hasnt't fully recovered the feeling in his arm after the Nurburgring crash.
"I went through the first left-hander at the top of the hill and the rear just came round on me off the gas – I was really not expecting it to happen! It has left me with seven fractures in the foot and I’ve got wires, pins and screws in there. It was an intricate operation and the surgeon made sure he did the best job he could. We now have to work out how to get the best rehabilitation for it and I’ll be pushing as hard as I can to come back for Jerez.”
