Recovery and progress for Haslam at Aragón
Britain's Leon Haslam returned to the track for two days of testing at the MotorLand Aragon circuit on Sunday/Monday in the run-up to the second round of the Superbike World Championship next week at Imola.
Haslam is recovering well from the fracture of his tibia that he sustained on 20th February during the official Superbike testing at Phillip Island. The fracture was fixed with two screws just one day before the first race weekend started, and Leon successfully took part in the first two races of the season, scoring an amazing fifth place in race 2.
As the healing process is going well, he was able to jump on his S 1000 RR for testing at Motorland Aragón and managed to clock the second quickest time overall in the test, with a 1 minute 58.2 second lap.
"It was good to get back on the bike," declared Haslam. "My leg is getting better day by day. It is still a little sore and I can't walk on the leg yet, but it is a lot better than it was in Australia and it should be nearly 100 percent okay for Imola. Technical wise we got through a lot of things and we got some good information from all the parts that we tried. We did not concentrate on lap times but on the new parts and I am pretty happy with the result."
