GERMAN ACE Max Neukirchner will return to Germany and must remain at total rest in body cast for 30 days, after the Alstare Suzuki man high-sided at the Tamburello ninety minutes into yesterday's morning session at Imola.
He was stretchered to the medical centre but a further X-ray scan at Imola hospital revealed a D12 dorsal vertebra fracture in his lower back as well as three minor cracks in the right L1, L2 and L3 lumbar vertebrae.
