Alvaro Bautista will miss this weekend's Czech Grand Prix having injured his back in the final free practice session.
The Suzuki rider fell at Turn 3 this morning, and had to be taken from the scene on a stretcher. After being assessed at MotoGP's Clinica Mobile, Bautista was taken to a hospital in Brno for a possible injury to his L1 vertebrae to be examined.
Although there is no definitive word on his injuries as yet, he has been ruled out of racing at Brno this weekend.
