GET THAT LOOKED AT

ITALIAN Superbike newcomer Doriano Romboni suffered a suspected broken wrist on Friday after crashing in the first practice for Sunday’s season-opening race. Romboni raced in Motorcycling Grands Prix before switching to Superbikes this year on a non-works Ducati. Ironically, he also crashed in practice for the season-opening 500cc GP in Japan last year and broke his leg. “The right wrist is the one he broke about six times before and it seems that he broke it again,” sais a spokesman for the Superbike event.
