Renegade Ducati’s Leon Haslam broke both bones in his left forearm when he crashed his 999RS during the second World Superbike race Sunday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

“We had an electrical problem with the bike. It kept cutting out and it highsided me,” Haslam told Roadracingworld.com.

Haslam said the fractures were immediately set and cast by Dr. Arthur Ting, who was the Chief Medical Officer of the event. Haslam plans to seek follow-up X-rays when he returns to his home in England.

The young Brit said he hopes to be fit enough to ride in the next round of the World Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch in three weeks.
