MotoGP – Jerez Test – Jeremy McWilliams' condition improves

The condition of Jeremy McWilliams who fell yesterday in the Irta tests in Jerez de la Frontera at turn 4 is improving. McWilliams suffered a fractured femur and a suspected broken collarbone. From the hospital, the 42-year-old Ilmor driver comments thus. “I was going very fast and I fell. The doctors in Jerez were great and told me that it should take 4/5 weeks to then be able to resume rehabilitation. I also have a suspected collarbone fracture but it's not a big problem.”

The accident does not appear to be caused by a mechanical error, here are the words of Mario Ilien, owner of the team. “First of all I'm happy that there are no serious problems for McWilliams, naturally we want to analyze the data as soon as possible to understand the cause of the crash. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Jeremy a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the X³."
