Moto2 is now known for it’s massive grid, it’s wild riding and bashing, it’s pile-ups and Jason DiSalvo probably described it the best after his wild card ride last weekend at Indy when he said: “it’s really like someone pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it in the middle of the pack.
”Most of the forty riders have suffered from some sort of injury during this season and Alex Debon, who will be retiring at the end of the season is probably the best example.
Debon will be missing the Misano round after breaking his right collarbone again after being taken out by Vladimir Ivanov during the Moto2 Indy race.
Debon returned to Valencia and underwent a three hour surgery to have a larger titanium plate inserted in his broken collarbone that he fractured during the Assen GP after a contact with Shoya Tomizawa.
This is the fourth time that 31 year old Spaniard has broken his collarbone in 10 months.
Vladimir Ivanov will also miss Misano.
The Moto2 Team Gresini rider fractured his right tibia and Tatsuya Yamaguchi will sub for the Ukraine rider.
The 34 year old Yamaguchi is the official rider for Moriwaki Engineering in the All Japan Superbike, class J-GP2.
