NECK INJURY SIDELINES CRAGGILL

Corona Extra Suzuki Superbike rider Marty Craggill, who placed eighth in Race 1 of the AMA Superbike at Fontana and crashed out in race 2, has undergone surgery and will miss the upcoming event at Infineon Raceway.

After returning to Australia following Fontana, Craggill had a continuing pain in his neck. X-rays revealed nothing but after a week of persistent discomfort, a requested CAT scan revealed a fracture in his C6 vertebra. Marty was admitted for surgery earlier this week. The vertebra was pinned and a bone graft undertaken. Marty is recovering after the successful operation. His return to racing fitness will be determined following doctor review in May.

We all wish Marty a speedy recovery.
