Leon Camier could be forced to miss the remainder of the second World Superbike Championship round at Motorland Aragon after injuring his knee in an accident during Q1.

The Fixi Crescent Suzuki rider was flung into a high-side as he rounded the long turn ten left-hander just minutes into the session, an accident that necessitated a red flag period.

Taken to the medical centre, Camier was diagnosed with a left knee dislocation and a wound which required stitches. He has now been taken to the local Alcaniz hospital, where he is undergoing further examination.
