If Chris Vermeulen’s 2010 WSBK season was interrupted due to his knee injury, this season isn’t going any better, because the Kawasaki rider will be sidelined for the upcoming WSBK Silverstone round due to ongoing injury.
The Australian was able to take part at the last round at Brno, but managed only to finish race 1, and sat out race 2 with nagging problems to his back and to the elbow injury that he picked up in a highspeed crash during practice at the Ascari corner at Monza in May.
Now he has been advised by his doctors to sit out Silverstone to come back fully fit for Nurburgring in September.
Vermeulen has been able to compete in only seven races so far this season.
