Danilo Petrucci will have to undergo surgery over the next few hours to reduce the numerous fractures suffered yesterday due to an accident while he was training on the Cingoli track.
The rider from Terni ended up on the ground after losing control of his motorbike before a jump, fracturing his jaw in two parts, his collarbone and his shoulder blade, also suffering several skin lacerations and the breaking of some teeth.
One of the scariest falls of his career was defined by Danilo, who yesterday was taken care of by the Torrette Hospital in Ancona where he was given the first tests after the accident which occurred on the Cingoli track.
This morning, on his official Instagram profile, the Barni Racing team rider who races in the Superbike World Championship published a post in which he briefly told what happened and what led him to lose control of the bike yesterday .
“Yesterday during a motocross training on the Cingoli track I lost control of the motorbike before a jump and therefore instead of braking the motorbike accelerated”.
“I jumped a lot and crashed to the ground. It was one of the scariest falls of my life. I broke some teeth, my jaw in two parts, my collarbone and shoulder blade as well as several skin lacerations.”
“Thank you for all the messages, I hope to smile again soon”, concluded Danilo on his social network profile.
The operation that he will undergo in a few hours will help Danilo to reduce his fractures and try to start his recovery and rehabilitation in the shortest time possible, in order to get back on the bike soon and continue the World Superbike season started by a few weeks.
Both Petrucci and the Barni team did not talk about recovery times: those will be communicated at a later time, when the operations to reduce the fractures have been carried out.
