Anyone see the World Supersport race this weekend?  Kevin Curtain was taken out by a Kawasaki rider and fell on his left shoulder after having several screws placed in his collarbone after a bad crash at Donnington.  It looked like a career ending injury and could be permanent bone damage for the 40 year old racer. 

Anyone know his status?

From Motorcycle News website:
Curtain was taken to hospital following his crash, but his collarbone injury had not been made any worse although he did sustain a 20cm long cut to his thigh caused by his foot peg.
Case Closed, I guess.

Did see the race,that was some battle that Kev was havin before the crash,hope he's fit for next race. He must struggle to get of of bed on Monday mornings poor chap! Thought Pitty had a good result considering he had'nt ridden the Honda before!! I understand that Ten Kate are well impressed with him and want to make him a permanent member of the team.
Did you see the second WSB race what a thrilla! Toseland,Haga and Biaggi mixing it up, loads of sideways action at full lean!! awesome
Toselands the nuts he'll get title if he keeps riding the way he is. Wadyathink??????????

I miss very little of what SpeedTV broadcasts.  Why would TenKate offer him a ride.  He has a ride with Yamaha.  They just brought Sofouglu in.  Any word on when Charpantier will return to the grid.

Pitty came second on the Ten Kate honda as a fill in for Seb, but there was talk of him getting a full time ride with the team on a third bike,they were that impressed with his showing.
His boots were filled at yamaha by Troy Corser
There is a possibility that Seb will be back for the next round but i think it'll be the one after
