Max Anstie will miss the weekend’s Dutch GP at Valkenswaard as his knee is still not fully recovered from injury. He hurt it in a Dutch championship round two weeks ago and missed Sunday’s Trentino GP in Italy, but had planned to return for Valkenswaard.

But it’s not recovered enough so he will be back in action in Latvia in two weeks.

“Things are really positive with the knee, the team and I have been working day and night to improve all we can but,” he said. “Unfortunately I’m not ready yet to race this weekend. The plan is to be back to 100% for Latvia in 2 weeks.”
