The Reitwagen BMW rider Roland Resch is unlikely to make the second round of the 2010 World Superbike championship after his free practice accident at Phillip Island in Australia.

Resch broke his collarbone in two places and underwent surgery to have a titanium plate fitted to secure the bones as he recuperates at his home in Austria.

The doctor should be making a decision in the next day or two but Resch has said;

“Of course it hurts to hear that the doctor thinks I won’t be on the bike in Portimao. But it doesn’t make sense either to force an early comeback if I am not 100% fit. The collarbone is broken twice, with a titanium plate and eight screws inserted. That is a quite big deal for my body. This year the grid is too competitive to start too early with a handicap. I want to fully recover before jumping on a bike again. Believe me, it’s not easy to pass on a race, but I am working hard to be back soon.”
