Vermeulen fit for Donington

Pop another shrimp on the barby Chris

AFTER a long lay-off Chris Vermuelen will race this weekend at Donington Park

It will be the first time the 28-year-old former World Supersport Champion will have raced since sustaining a serious knee injury at the opening round of last year's World Superbike Championship at Phillip Island in Australia.

The Australian MotoGP race winner had an operation to rebuild his knee last July and is now in the final phase of rehabilitation after such complex surgery but was forced out of his home race last month due to still not being 100% fit.


Paul Bird, Team Owner:  "It's great to welcome Chris back into the team and hopefully he can give a good account of himself now he's back to somewhere near full fitness."

The opening race gets underway on Sunday 27th March at 12.00 with race two at 15.30 and British viewers can catch the action live on British Eurosport.
