American Honda rider Miguel Duhamel will miss the Pro Honda Oils Supersport race at Pikes Peak.

Duhamel broke his left collarbone in three places in the Supersport race at Sears Point, and he would also have to start the race at Pikes Peak from the back of the grid due to a penalty imposed by the AMA after it found his CBR600RR to have an illegal oil pressure regulator.

According to team manager Chuck Miller, Duhamel wanted to compete in the Supersport race, but Miller decided that Duhamel would only compete in the Superbike race.

“He was pretty sore after yesterday,” said Miller. The decision not to race in the Supersport race was “A combination of his shoulder and the penalty. He was in pain this morning and he wanted to ride, but I felt, considering his physical condition and the fact that he’d be starting from the back of the grid, that keeping him out of the Supersport race was the best decision. I’m concerned about him aggravating the injury.”
