I don't speak well but I'm getting better, they'll have another operation on my collarbone soon”wrote the Ducati fan, attaching a photo of his hospital lunch to the message.

The jokes with Dovizioso and Jovanotti

Good humor is not lacking in the class of 1990, who via social media did not miss the opportunity to joke with theanother excellent injured person in Italian motorcycling these days: Andrea Dovizioso. Dovi, who was also Petrucci's teammate in Ducati in MotoGP, had also been injured in motocross, suffering a clavicle fracture. Through Instagram the three-time MotoGP world vice-champion also published an update on his health conditions, then tagging Petrucci himself with a joke: “'Things are either done well or not done', right @petrux9?”.

The ironic response from my colleague and friend came immediately: “This time we made a masterpiece at the same time”. The joke then added to the discussion singer Lorenzo Jovanotti, who in July 2023 was the victim of a very bad bicycle accident in Santo Domingo in which he fractured his collarbone and femur. “If you need a piece of collarbone I have some left over“, wrote the singer-songwriter to Dovizioso. The hope for everyone is that these bad injuries can soon be just a thing of the past.
