Vermeulen sits out the rest of 2010


After another crash in race one at Brno last weekend, the Kawasaki Racing Team rider suffered further damage to his right knee which was injured at Philip Island in the first round in February.  The former World Supersport champion missed the next two rounds.

The Kawasaki team's website announced yesterday that he would now sit out the rest of the season while his knee recovers and he considers reconstructive surgery.  Vermeulen is signed for next year with the Kawasaki factory team.

He has not yet made a statement.
