This just in from Monstermob Ducati publicist Larry Carter:

Just a quick note to advise that following the last-lap incident at Knockhill on Sunday, Steve Hislop has had his shoulder injury assessed and X-rayed in the Isle of Man yesterday (Monday) and the prognosis is that the right clavicle (collarbone) is indeed broken.

It is a straightforward break to the existing injury he suffered at Rockingham in September 2001 and he has been advised by Doctors to rest for a couple of weeks.

Steve is in good spirits and is confident that the injury will be sufficiently healed in order for him to defend his (British Superbike) championship lead at the next round at Thruxton on August 11th.
