Aprilia’s Shinya Nakano will not be racing the next two rounds of the WSBK championship, at Imola and Magny-Cours. The Japanese rider has been suffering from continuing neck problems and has decided to stay in Japan and undergo further medical tests and treatment and may return for the final round at Portimao.
With only Max Biaggi to be riding at Imola, Aprilia is now considering a substitute to ride Nakano’s Aprilia RSV4 Factory.
Nakano is currently 13th in the overall standings and did not ride in Race 2 at Nurburgring due to neck pain.
