According to a Kawasaki press release, Erci Bostrom crashed this morning in Germany and has suffered a broken wrist.
The release states: Already suffering with injuries sustained in a boating accident during the summer break, the 26-year-old Californian crashed heavily during morning qualifying and ruled himself out of this weekend's event with a fractured left scaphoid.
"I honestly don't know what caused the crash," said a disappointed Bostrom. "I tipped into the corner the same way I had done on previous laps and it felt like the rear just let go. I'm real disappointed, because I think I could have gone well here this weekend. I was running in the 27's on race rubber, which was as good as any of the other Dunlop runners, and I was really looking forward to the race. According to the doctors, I've only sustained a small fracture to the scaphoid, and it should be as good as new in a few weeks, but this definitely isn't the way I wanted to end my season."
