A SUPERBIKE star has been operated on at the Queen's Medical Centre after a crash left him with a broken leg.
Leon Haslem - whose home circuit is at Castle Donnington - was practicing for a race in Assen, Holland, when he broke his tibula and fibula in his lower leg.
The 29-year-old was flown to the QMC to get specialist treatment - a state-of-the-art metal rod in his leg that couldn't be offered in Holland.
The crash happened at turn seven in the first timed practice session at a wet Assen circuit.
