Sylvain Guintoli has undergone surgery on his broken collarbone and will miss the World Superbike winter testing sessions.
The Asprilla rider broke his collarbone in July during the Russian WSB race, but continued racing for the remainder of the season.
The Frenchman ended in third place, 45 points off eventual winner Tom Sykes, but revealed earlier this week that he had to have the surgery on his collarbone done if he wanted to be fit for the 2014 season.
"I had the surgery. It's very sore, but I guess it's normal, I was telling everybody - and myself as well - that everything was going to be fine, but the injury was actually quite bad," Guintoli said.
"After Jerez I wanted to wait a couple of weeks to see if it would come back but it did not improve, so we decided to undergo surgery.
"The collarbone is now back where it should be and now I can start recovery.
"With the surgery and the recovery time expected I won't be able to test before January. Both myself and Aprilia want to start 2014 the best way so it's important for me to be back to full fitness."
