Former 2010 World Supersport title contender Joan Lascorz remains in hospital more than🥂 a month after his accident on the opening lap of the Silverstone round.

The Kawasaki star, who won the Spanish WSS round in April and led the world championship at the mid-season point, fell after tangling with Eugene Laverty on the exit of turn one at th🌟e British round, and was then hit in the back by Robert💛o Tamburini.

Lascorz is still in hospital i🌸n his native Spain, where he had been under close observation until August 11, with a drainage tube ꦉin his lung to relieve bleeding.

Some degree of liver, spleen and stomach trauma was also suffered in the crash, althougܫh Lascorz did not need to undergo any surgery on those vi🐎tal organs.

Lascorz lost skin from hisꦉ thumb in his fall, for which skin graft surgery went to plan and the th💜umb is healing well.

The Span꧅iard also suffered five broken ribs and two injured scapula bones in his Silverstone crash, which cannot be operated on and are being left to r👍ecover naturally.

The 25-year-old rider is hoping to be released from hospital soon, but still faces a peꦡriod of convalescence to allow complete healing to take place.

Lascorz is currently third in the championship, with a 42-point lead over the fourth placed rider, and tipped to move up to the Superbike class with Kaꦏw⛎asaki in 2011.

Lascorz will be replaced b🍒y Broc Parkes at this ✃weekend's Nurburgring round.
