Honda Racing's Jason O'Halloran has suffered a broken leg in today's opening WorldSBK race at Imola after a crash at the Villeneuve chicane.

O'Halloran was standing in for the injured Leon Camier this weekend as he has a six-week break from British Superbike duties and now, fortunately, has five weeks to be fit for his next BSB date.

Both Honda Racing BSB riders are now on the sick list as Dan Linfoot is still recovering from a broken vertabrae sustained at Brands Hatch.

WorldSBK's medical officer reported the Australian has suffered a right open displaced lower leg fracture and is now in hospital.
