Plater's HM Plant Honda team confirmed the rider's injuries were not serious."Steve was able to speak to the medical team and the team manager at the scene," said a spokesman."He is understandably in pain and therefore has been administered with pain-killing treatment and is now in hospital where he can be examined further to establish the precise nature of any injuries he may have sustained."Steve would like to thank everyone for the good wishes already received and the team will issue a further update in due course."Final Superbike times1.

Hope it's not his right wrist - mine's taken ages to recover. Luckily, well in time for it to have to play a major role in my sex life....
Get well soon, Steve.
