Video – Chris Vermeulen talks to us from his hospital bed

Chris Vermeulen has undergone a second corrective surgery on his injured knee that he picked up during the opening round at Phillip Island and that was further damaged after his crash in race 1 at Brno.
The Australian will be missing the remainder of season and will have to go through a long rehabilitation period and hopes to return in time to begin his side of the development of the new Kawasaki ZX-10R in early December.

Watch the video and find out directly from Chris about the length of the operation, what type of damage they found and how long his recovery and rehabilitation period will be.
Kawasaki’s test rider Akira Yanagawa will be replacing Vermeulen in this weekend’s round of the World Superbike Championship at Silverstone.
