Sidecar Crossers Daniël Willemsen and Etienne Bax are crashed Sunday during the GP of Czech Republic both.
Both ten times world Willemsen as with Bax hit a dislocated shoulder.
Their bakkenisten were heavily injured on the circuit of Kramolin. Etienne's brother Robbie Bax (Willemsens passenger) broke two vertebrae. The Let Kaspars Stupelis (sidecar of Bax) broke three ribs and also held a perforated lung to the crash.
It is questionable whether the combinations next weekend in Varsseveld can start in the Dutch GP. Willemsen was after a crash in Switzerland earlier this year for weeks out of circulation.

UPDATE ON WILLEMSEN and BAX
I was wrong all last season, and, according to my e'mails I'm wrong this season. Still, while it is my fault no one else is getting the blame.
