The 38-year-old was taken to the circuit medical centre before being transferred to Cowes for further assessment. There it was confirmed he had sustained multiple fractures to the left foot.

Rea will take no further part in testing or the upcoming race weekend at Phillip Island in what is a tough blow for the six-time Superbike World Champion.
