Jonathan Rea will take no further part in this weekend's WorldSBK Frenc🔯h Round after the six-times champion was d🀅eclared unfit.

Rea crashed on the firstꦆ lap of Race 1 at the final chicane. He was taken to the medical centre, where he was diagnosed with a right thumb fracture and a deep wound, and was then transportꦰed to Moulins Hospital.

He underwent surgerꦜy on his thumb in Clermont-Ferrand on Saturday evening to treat his woun⭕d.

On returning to Magny-Cours on Sunday morning, Rea was decౠlared unfit and ruled out of the remainder of this weekend.

“Unfortunately, my i✅njury needed specialist attention and I had to have an emergency surgery to repair some damage in my right thumb," Rea said. "I will understand my recovery day by day, but I woul🐠d just like to thank the track medics and especially Dr Antoine Martins for fixing me up. 

"Thank you to all my team, my fans and all my sponsors 📖that continue to support me in this t⛦ough period.”
