Hopkins to miss Mugello.
Suzuki's John Hopkins has been ruled out of the Italian Grand Prix after an examination revealed insufficient fusion in his broken thumb, sustained during a first lap fall at Le Mans three weeks ago.
"It's only a broken thumb but the way the break is, the doctors have told me that it could come right off if I had another crash," revealed Hopper, who had undergone laser treatment and strengthening exercises to try and heal the injury.
