Biaggi was hit by an unidentified object at Nurburgring a little more than two weeks ago, that fractured a bone in his left foot, and following a medical check-up that the Italian underwent today, it was revealed that the fracture has still not healed.

According to several Italian websites, Biaggi may be forced to also skip next week’s round at Magny Cours.
