World Superbike racer Regis Laconi's condition is reported to be improving slowly following a crash during practice for the South African event at the Kyalami circuit last Friday.
The French rider, who crashed on his out lap in the opening free practice session in a fast left-hand corner, is currently hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg.
He was successfully brought out of a medically-induced coma and his upper and lower limbs immediately showed signs of autonomous movement.
As a result it has been decided to carry out the operation that involves the application of a plate to stabilize the two fractured vertebrae. The operation will be carried out on Tuesday and Laconi will have to stay a minimum of two weeks in the same hospital.
He should, at the end of the month, be in a condition to be transferred to Paris, where he will complete his convalescence.
The other neurological problems resulting from the crash are also showing positive results.
