Haydon will miss Silverstone

Foggy Petronas rider James Haydon will be forced to sit out the World Superbike round at Silverstone this weekend.

The British rider is still suffering from a neck injury after a big crash at the last round in Oschersleben, Germany, two weeks ago. He may also miss the next round at Misano in Italy on June 22, but this is yet to be confirmed.

Haydon’s absence means that the Foggy Petronas team will be running one rider, Australian Tory Corser, at their first World Superbike round on British soil.
