Jago Geerts had a big crash four laps into free practice on Saturday then pulled into the pits to make more adjustments in Sunday warm-up. After that, Geerts did mot appear in the and Belgian explained why – he needs more time and will miss the next couple of GPs.
Geerts said: “Due to this elbow fracture my position on the bike has changed. Therefore the bike also has to be adjusted. But there was not enough time to do that. On Saturday and Sunday morning, I did not feel good on the bike. It didn’t work out the way I wanted it to, so there was absolutely no point in taking any risks. Postpone my comeback was the only right decision. When will it happen? The race in Keiheuvel, on August 15, is now the goal.”
