BRIDEWELL RULED OUT OF THRUXTON - Malcolm - 17-04-2010 Quay Garage Honda rider Tommy Bridewell will miss round two of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship following an accident at Thruxton yesterday. The 21 year old from Etchilhampton set tenth fastest time in the opening free practice session on the ex Gregorio Lavilla Honda Fireblade but in the second session yesterday afternoon, he suffered a crash at the Club chicane. After being treated by medics at the circuit, Bridewell was transferred to Salisbury Hospital where he underwent surgery on his damaged little finger on his right hand but he hopes to be back in action at round three of the series at Oulton Park on May 2nd/3rd. Tommy's dad, Marcus, said "He'd lost a little bit of time in the early part of the session and was anxious to put in some fast laps but he touched the kerb on the entry into the corner and crashed out and his hand was trapped underneath the handlebar. Although he walked away from the accident he soon realised there was a problem and once he'd been assessed by the medical team at the circuit, he was transferred to hospital where they amputated the finger late last night. The surgeon told him he might be out of action for up to six months, but he fully expects to be back at Oulton. He has to go back on Thursday to get it checked out again but providing all is OK and the bike can be repaired, we will be at Oulton." 2010 MCE Insurance British Superbike Calendar R1 Brands Hatch 3/4/5 April R2 Thruxton 16/17/18 April R3 Oulton Park 1/2/3 May R4 Cadwell Park 21/22/23 May R5 Mallory Park 25/26/27 June R6 Knockhill 2/3/4 July R7 Snetterton 16/17/18 July R8 Brands Hatch GP 6/7/8 August R9 Cadwell Park 28/29/30 August R10 Croft 10/11/12 September R11 Silverstone GP 24/25/26 September R12 Oulton Park 8/9/10 October
