Parkes out at Assen after testing crash
He has had an operation to insert a screw in his shoulder to hold it in place for six weeks, but as he will not be 100% fit for Assen, he has opted to spend the next couple of weeks recuperating in readiness for the subsequent Monza race, plus the Kyalami and Miller rounds, which follow on soon afterwards in May.
Arrangements have been made for former WSS rider Stuart Easton to step in for this event, as he has recently tested the Kawasaki and has experience of the Assen circuit.
