Shane Byrne will miss the Czech MotoGP on Sunday after crashing out in morning free practice on Saturday.
"He has got a left wrist dislocation and has been taken to hospital for further medical checks," said Aprilia press officer Luca Bologna.
The accident happened when Byrne's bike high-sided and flipped into the air as he attempted a left-hand corner.
The 27-year-old Aprilia rider clocked the 14th fastest time in the first qualifying session on Friday.
