Glen Richards - HM Plant Honda
The HM Plant Honda British Superbike rider Glen Richards, has had a successful operation after a pin was inserted into his broken left femur, after his accident in qualifying at Knockhill last weekend.
Richards suffered a huge crash, colliding with Relentless Suzuki rider Ian Lowry, and was taken to a local hospital where his brake was diagnosed.
The Australian has been reported as being mobile already and the brake was described by a doctor as a ‘clean break’, which is expected to heal relatively quickly.
The HM Plant Honda team manager Havier Beltran said;
“Glen’s operation to pin his broken left femur went well at the weekend and he is due to be released from hospital today,”
“He has been up and mobile already, but of course he will have to take it easy over the next few weeks.
“It was a clean break in the middle of his femur which means that it should heal reasonably fast, so we want to pass on our best wishes to Glen for his recovery. In terms of a replacement for the Mallory Park round, we will announce the rider this week.”
