Moto2: Julian Simon to miss Silverstone

Julian Simon will not be present at this weekend's British round of the Moto2 World Championship.

The Spaniard underwent surgery after a fracturing his right tibia and fibula when he was thrown into a highside by contact from Kenan Sofuoglu in last Sunday's Catalunya round (pictured).

Simon was second in the race and the world championship at the time. He will not be replaced by the Aspar team.

A 'hearing' into the incident is due to be held on Thursday.
