While Yamaha has yet to issue an official statement, it looks like Ben Spies will be forced to miss this weekend's penultimate race of the 2012 season at Phillip Island, following his highside during yesterday's MotoGP race at Sepang.
The unlucky American, who may have just added injury to insult to his nightmare season said, "My shoulder's really sore from the fall but thankfully nothing too serious so I'll be able to ride in Australia," however Spies seems to have sustained a right shoulder injury (that may require surgery) and a fractured left rib, and now is returning to the US according to his Twitter account.
Spies will have to make a fast recovery if he wants to test the Ducati in the post-race, post-season test in three weeks time.
