He goes in for an operation on Thursday to have a plate removed from his wrist and tendon cut away from his elbow.
Crack heavyweight rider Bernard Fayd’Herbe is another man who will be out of action. He has been booked off for a month.
A routine medical check on Tuesday revealed signs of concussion, and as a precaution he has been booked off until August 28.

“It’s a shame to start the new season on the back foot, but you obviously can’t take any chances with head injuries. I’m just glad this was picked up now, before any further damage was done” concluded a relieved Fayd’Herbe.
