World Superbike rider Ryuichi Kiyonari is still recovering from his collarbone injury but seems to be ready for the next round in Portugal.

Kiyonari broke his right collarbone in a crash at the French Magny-Cours during a test session, forcing him to miss the race. He returned home to Japan for his operation and is currently recovering. The 26 year-old Japanese rider won three races in his first World Superbike year and is expected to start at Portimao. Ryuichi was born in Saitama, Japan on the 23rd September 1982, and has been riding with the Hannspree Ten Kate Honda Team with a Honda CBR 1000RR, currently on 193 points and at 9th position in the general standings.

The new Portimao circuit is almost ready for World Superbike. It was built in only eight months and is located in the Algarve region of southern Portugal.
