Aprilia’s Leon Camier has fractured his right scaphoid during a highside crash during this afternoon’s QP1 at Nurburgring. The Brit also suffered a trauma to his knee that had to be stitched up.

“It was a certainly a big crash but I really don’t know what happened. There’s a left before it and the bike backed in on me a little bit but nothing major. Next thing I know I’m on the ground. It’s a real pain of a bone to break because there’s no blood flowing directly to it so it has to be fixed well other wise it can cause trouble. I’ve been on the phone to various people including Casey (Stoner) to get some recommendations.”

Camier will not be racing this weekend and according to his Twitter page he’ll undergo surgery on Monday and “hoping to be back racing before the end of the year!!”
