Stuart Easton was due to be picked up from Lincoln Hospital this morning, after surgery last night, to repair the deep gash in the back of his left leg, sustained during a crash at Cadwell Park. 

According to to Eastons Swan Honda crew chief Pete Jennings, he was at hospital yesterday the surgeons reported, no internal damage to Eastons tendons or ligaments. 

Jennings told MCN: “he’s been cleaned up and stitched up and now it’s a case of waiting for the wound to heal.  He’s in good sprits and intends to be on the grid at Brands – although the stitches might have to do some work still.  It’s a nasty old gash.  In fact, when one of the medics took the dressing off, the first thing he said was, “oh my god” – and then went off to find a doctor!
