American Kenny Noyes, the 2014 FIM/CEV Repsol Superbike Champion, is expected to recover from a serious head injury he suffered Sunday, July 5 in Spain.

Noyes was participating in the warm-up session for the FIM/CEV Repsol European Superbike race at Motorland Aragon when he tangled with another rider in a fast corner and crashed. According to Noyes’ father, former racer and current moto-journalist Dennis Noyes, the younger Noyes was struck by his Palmeto Kawasaki ZX-10R in the crash and knocked unconscious.

Kenny Noyes was transported via helicopter to the trauma center at University Hospital Clinic in Zaragoza, where he was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage and placed in an artificially-induced coma.

“Twenty-four hours after the first scan a second scan revealed favorable conditions,” Dennis Noyes wrote in an email to Roadracingworld.com, “and it was decided to reduce the medical sedation and attempt to bring him to consciousness. This is happening as I write this from the waiting room of the Intensive Care Unit. We are praying for a successful awakening and the beginning of the recovery process. Doctors believe a complete recovery is probable, if there are no new consequences.”
