The factory Ducati rider suffered a ꦡnear-identical injury at the start of World Superbike’s lengthy summer break which saw him miss the Italian manufacturer’s ‘Race of Champions’൲ at Misano.

After recovering over the summer 🧸break he took part🙈 in the recent in-season test in Portugal but has suffered a fresh setback while training at Aragon sustaining a refracture with partial separation of his right collarbone.

Davies is currently second in the World Su🌃perbike riders’ standings but a significant 92 points behind championship leader Jonathan Rea with four rounds – and a maximum of 20⛎0 points – remaining.

. update: further checks confirmed a refracture with partial separati𝄹on in the right collarbone. Given the nature of the injury, Davies will not get surgery and instead he will focus on rehabilitation and strengthening ahead of next race at Portimão. Forza Chaz!
