World Supersport championship leader Kenan Sofuoglu has been ruled ou♏t of the Magny-Cours round after suffering three fractures in his hip in a nasty crash dur𒊎ing Superpole qualifying.

The Puccetti Kawasaki rider had been battling for pole position in qualifying for the French race but tipped off in the flick back between turn eight and nine during Superpole 2. The session was red flagged immediately so the five-time World Superspoღrt championship could receive immediate medical attention before being ta🎉ken to the medical centre.

In a statement released by Puccetti Kawasa🍎ki it has confirmed Sofuoglu as unfit for the Magny-Cours race꧃, which he qualified on the front row, after sustaining three fractures to his hip.

“Kenan𒊎 was taken for medical checks at the circuit and was declared unfit. Later checks in hospital con🌠firmed that he has three fractures to his hip,” the statement read. “He is now flying home to Turkey to undergo surgery.”

Sofuoglu will also be a doubt for the penultimate round of the 2017 campaign at Jerez with just three weeks to recover from surgery. The Turkish rider leads the W🍷orld Supersport championship by four points from Lucas Mahias having won five of the past six races. Sofuoglu missed the opening two races of the season with a broken hand injury suffered while train꧒ing during the pre-season.
