WorldSBK rookie Vierge, who suffered a broken right h💝and following a nasty crash in race two at Misano, was forced to miss Team HRC’s one-day test at Donington 🦹last month. 

Until his crash in Misano, Vierge along with team-mate Iker Lecuona were enjoying their bestꩲ weekend of the season - both riders combined for three top five finishes. 

For Mahias, Doni𝓀ntgon Park marks the first WorldSBK action in nearly two months after the Puccetti Kawasaki rider also suffered a fractured right hand. 

Ponsson 🧔and Konig are both returning to action after suffering broken collarbones, but unlike Konig who has been cleared for a full return to action, the French rider will again be assessed after Free Practice 1. 

Not involved this weekend is BMW rider Michael Van Der Mark as🥀 the Dutch rider remains sidelined despite taking part in a recent training day at Assen. 

Van Der Mark is in attendance at Donington this weekend but will be watching on from the pit box🌱 as Ukrainian rider Ilya Mykhalchyk steps in as he did in Aragon and Misano. 

Speaking after his track day in Assen, Van Der Mark added: "I took a couple of laps with my BMW M1000RR training bike during a track day around the TT Circuit Assen. Iಞt was fun and showed me how far I am with my current recovery process. 

"These activities are really helpful and bring me closer to my goal of being back in W♍orldSBK as soon as possible – even if it’s ♋too early to predict now when. But I’m on it!"
