The Steriglarda Husqvarna Max Racing Team has announced that John McPhee will not take part in the Indonesian Grand Prix.

Unfortunately John suffered a fracture of two vertebrae during an accident in a training session. Fortunately the fracture is stable and there is no need for surgery.

From tomorrow John will begin rehabilitation, with the intention of returning for the Argentine Grand Prix, which will be held on April 3.

In his long career, John has never missed a grand prix for a training injury.
