Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport rider Troy Corser did not race in the World Superbike event in Brno last Sunday after his heavy crash during Friday's qualifying session.

After discussions with the team doctor, Dr. Vincenzo Tota, and the team management, Corser decided not to compete in the sessions on Saturday and the races on Sunday. According to medical reports, the 38-years-old rider suffered bruising all over his body.

"Unfortunately I cannot race this weekend," the Australian rider said. "I feel quite exhausted right now, and I have a pain in my chest. It was a huge impact, and I am happy I was not hurt badly.

"I remember the crash pretty well: I somehow lost the rear, and then I highsided. I would have loved to race in Brno, but we all agree I need a couple of days to rest now to be able to start in Silverstone."
