Round 2, Phillip Island, Australia
YUKIO OUT!
Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Yukio Kagayama will
miss tomorrow’s races at Phillip Island due to doctor’s
orders. Yesterday, Yukio crashed in timed qualifying and was
taken to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne with suspected fractures
of his left collarbone and three or four ribs and possible
damage to his spleen. But, after further checks at The Alfred,
it was found that Yukio had not broken any bones, though there
was some damage to one of his lungs. As a precaution the medics
there declared Yukio unfit to take part in the races - a decision
that was endorsed by the race jury, the FIM and race direction.
