Former World Superbike racer Lance Isaacs suffered a double fracture of his right tibia and re-broke his right forearm in a crash during Saturday’s AMA Superstock race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

“It’s a pretty clean (leg) break. Everything is straight in line. It should take about three or four weeks to heal, so I should be ready for Virginia (International Raceway, the next round of the AMA series August 29-31),” said No Limit Motorsports Honda’s Isaacs while signing autographs Sunday at Mid-Ohio. “I don’t need surgery, but I’m going to see Dr. Ting this week to see what I need to do.”

Isaacs also re-broke his three-week-old broken right forearm but felt it would also be fine in time for VIR without the need for surgery.

“I’m not sure who crashed in front of me, but I didn’t have any room to go anywhere,” said Isaacs when asked about his crash. “I hit his bike straight in the side.”

The rider who fell in Isaacs’ path was first-year Expert Greg Moore. Moore broke an arm in the incident, was treated and released from Mansfield Medical Center in nearby Mansfield, Ohio; Moore left the racetrack Saturday night and was not available for comment at post time.
