BMW has announced that Michael van der Mark will not take part in the WorldSBK season opener at Aragon.
As reported, the Dutchman had a training accident with his mountain bike, in which he suffered a leg fracture. This was operated on last week. Van der Mark now wants to focus primarily on his recovery.
Van der Mark says: “It was a difficult decision, but unfortunately I will not try to race at MotorLand Aragón. At this moment we have to be smart and stay calm, because this is the only way I can move forward in my healing process. I really miss working with the team and riding my BMW M 1000 RR. But now my goal is to be fit again as soon as possible.”
