Van der Mark suffered a broken hip in May last year due to a fall during training. The motorcycle racer had just recovered from another broken leg, which he suffered shortly before the season due to a fall from a mountain bike.
The bright spot for Van der Mark is that the Superbike World Cup riders don’t have a race at the moment. The season continues on the weekend of April 21-23 in Assen with the third race weekend of the year.
