Fractured elbow for Julien Lieber!

Factory Kawasaki’s GP season (and Belgium’s MXoN chances) took another hit when Julien Lieber, who was running superbly in second in race one in the German GP, crashed big time on the uphill scrub jump and fractured his elbow.

Lieber had been doing a good job of stepping up in the absence of Desalle who’s broke his tib/fib in Russia but now the squad, like Red Bull KTM, have no fit riders in a situation that is not good for the teams or the world championship.
