Spanner in the works during SERT’s winter tests

Vincent Philippe has had a major crash during a test on the Mireval circuit. The Suzuki Endurance Racing Team rider managed to pick himself up despite heavy bruising and a fractured right foot. “I’ve three broken bones in my forefoot, and one of them’s displaced, Vincent Philippe said. They’ll have to operate to fix it.”

He will be operated on today (Tuesday) and go into rehab immediately after. “Vincent will need to rest for at least a month, said Dominique Hebrard, the team manager of Suzuki Endurance Racing Team, and then he’ll up and running again.”
