BSN – Haslam "Rib injury shouldn’t be too much of a problem"
Factory Aprilia rider Leon Haslam is looking forward to his home race at Donington Park, despite the rib injury sustained at Imola a fortnight ago. Speaking to bikesportnews.com, the soon-to-become 32-year-old from Derby said: “I’ve broken one rib and cracked two others, so it’s not ideal. I can’t cough, sneeze, laugh, nothing but you don’t use your ribs on the bike, so I am confident it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
Haslam also revealed that further testing work ahead of the UK Round was carried out by two-time WorldSBK Champion Max Biaggi: “Although the bike does work better with hot track temperatures, we will manage with colder as Biaggi has just done three days’ testing at Mugello and I think some answers have come out of that.”
