World Superbike Championship 2010
The Interwetten Honda MotoGP injured rider Hiroshi Aoyama is to be replaced by the Honda test rider Kousuke Akiyoshi at the Assen round of the championship and the following Catalunya round.
Aoyama was injured during the warm up session at Silverstone last weekend and suffered a fractured vertebrae. The Japanese rider was hospitalised and kept in to be monitored following the crash which is expected to keep him out of the series for at least the next couple of months.
Akiyoshi will now take to the track on the RC212V at Assen next weekend and again in Spain for July 2-4th where he will race under the number 64, the test rider will replace Aoyama until a longer term replacement can be found.
