Neil Hodgson left right away for England after suffering a fall during France GP. On arrival, he went through a medical examination that confirmed that two of his ribs were broken, but he’s developing well and during these days back home on the Isle of Man he will spend his time resting in order to heal as soon as possible. He is optimistic “I feel fine. It bothers me a bit and it is too soon to say if I will be in shape for the next GP in Italy, but I’m following the doctors recommendations and hope to be well by then”.

This situation has prevented him from attending the World Ducati Week which will take place this weekend in Misano, but his partner Ruben Xaus will be there ending a week full of activities for the Spanish rider.

Before leaving for Italy Ruben was in Madrid visitng the International Motor Show together with other Catalonian riders such as Marc Gene, Jorge Lorenzo, Emilio Alzamora o Xevi Pons, among others. All of them visited the RACC stand and there they were able to greet the King of Spain.
