Hand injury rules Searle out of Lommel GP

The pain was too much for Tommy Searle in practice at Lommel. The hugely unfortunate Brit has been forced to withdraw from the Belgian GP as he continues to suffer from a hand injury sustained in his crash at Loket one week ago.

It means the second injury for a very unlucky Searle in the last couple of weeks, both frustratingly coming just as he joined the factory Kawasaki team.
