Dutch TT - Toni Elias has been ruled out of the Dutch TT after breaking his left leg in a crash during the event's opening free practice session.
The 24-year-old Spaniard fell off his Gresini Honda at the 100 mph Hoge Heide left-hander when the front end of his machine gave way as he rode over a bump at the turn's apex.
What looked to be a relatively soft impact was complicated as his leg got caught underneath his body as he rolled through the gravel, leaving him unable to remove himself from the scene without assistance.
He was taken to the Clinica Mobile where he was diagnosed with the injury and then transferred to a local hospital.
The Gresini team have until Friday morning to name a replacement for Elias, the last man to win a race for Honda in Portugal last year, but it is thought unlikely that they will do so
