Michael van der Mark’s leg is broken, leaving him in a wheelchair for the time being. His condition will be monitored over the next few days to see when he will be able to mount up back on the saddle to compete in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK).
While his teammates, Scott Redding, Eugene Laverty, and Loris Baz, were out testing the BMW M1000RR in Misano in the previous week, van der Mark will be at home recuperating after a rather gnarly mountain bike crash. The accident left van der Mark’s lower right leg broken last Sunday while training. The BMW racer is now fine after being rushed to the hospital to receive treatment.
