BRNO, Czech Republic, Alex Hofmann will miss the Czech MotoGP race this weekend as he is still recovering from a hand injury, the German Ducati...

...rider said on Friday.

"Right now I can start to move my right hand. I will try to be back for Misano (in San Marino on Sept. 2) but it definitely won't be easy," Hofmann was quoted as saying by the official MotoGP Web site (www.motogp.com).

"I would ride here if it had been for the world championship but it does not make sense if you are only going to be able to finish 14th."

Hofmann, 27, crashed in a practice session for the previous race at the U.S. Laguna Seca circuit in July.

The German, who is 11th in this season's standings, was speaking in Brno where he is exploring the possibility of joining a different team for the 2008 season.

He is riding for Ducati's satellite Pramac d'Antin team and his best finish this year has been fifth in Le Mans.
