Bad news for Christophe Pourcel

Okay, this sucks: Racer X is reporting that Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki-mounted Christophe Pourcel broke his collarbone in a crash at the Kawasaki test track. They say he'll be out for "at least four weeks." That won't give him much time to prepare for A1, so I guess this seals the deal for him to ride the East Coast regional series.
