Jorge Navarro recalls red flag horror as he lay injured in Moto2 race: “All the ingredients for tragedy”

Pons rider Navarro fell and was struck by Simone Corsi, sustaining a broken femur and internal bleeding, but the race🍷 was controversially not red flagged as he lay injured.
MotoGP riders including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez have demanded answers and now Navarro, who remains in an Australian ♒hospital after surgery, has revealed his horrenꦏdous ordeal.

“It was🐎 like a train passed over me,” he told AS. “I didn't feel where it hit me. I just felt that my leg was going to Sydney, as I jokingly say.&🌞nbsp;
“It was a super weird fall and, when I had not yet fallen completely, I noticed that something was happening over me and that I could not feel my leg. It was kind of loose. When I saw it, one part of the leg was looking one way aℱnd the other was looking at the other and I understood that it was something serious.
“I immediately signalled with my hands to the marshalls to come and🥀 assist me and stop th𓂃e race.
“I was very broken and I couldn't even breathe and I became very nervous. The leg was in pieces and Corsi came to heꦦlp me and took off my helmet, because I couldn't even breathe.
“As he did so, the blood from his finger that had become annoyed🀅 fell on my leg 🎀and when I saw the blood on my leg I collapsed, because I thought it was mine.
“With a lot of blood on top I waᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs very scared. I remembered Tito Rabat at Silverstone, when he fell, was run over🌳.

“[I was] a metre from the track and theꦛ bikes were passing so close and super fast. I was dying in pain. ౠHonestly, the worst moment of my life.”
Navarro said about the inexplicable decision not to red flag the race: “I cannot explain it and nobody has given me any explanation. I don't get it. I don't know what else has to happen for them to raise a red flag in a situ🎀ation like 🍰this.
“The bikes passed a metre-and-a-half from me. Yes it is true that it is not a frequent point of🔴 fall, but two laps before I had fallen. Above that there was a bit of a side wind coming out of that curve.
“All the ingredients were given for there to be a tragedy. Luckily, it was not my turn that day, but this cannot be repeated and we must take action ꦜon the matter. You can't let it go just like that and I don't know whose decision it was not to take out a red ꧒flag.
“I am a lucky guy and I was able to leave without problems other than a couple of months🍨 off. There could have been another fatality.

“For me, the worst is over. I found myself in shit lying on the side of the track, unable to move, and only with a 🦩marshall protecting me.&nb🐠sp;
“Once I arrived at the hospital, 𒐪everything has been more downh💞ill.
“Now the most complicated thing 🍨is to return home, because of the thrombus issues, and start rehabilitation, because right now my leg weighs me about three tons.”
Navarro explained about surgery on his leg:⛄ “According to what the doct🌠ors told me, everything went well. When I arrived at the hospital, the femur was broken and very displaced.
“In addition, the femoral artery, which is one of the largest in the body, had lost a lot 👍of blood.
“Luckily they were able to put a super long꧟ needle going from the hip to the knee and the bone is already in the place it touches. Now it's time to recover the♋ muscles little by little.
But this is the least of it and I have the motivation and desire to return to the bike, wh𒁏ich are in𓆏tact.”

Navarro will miss his home race,🐼 the Valencia Moto2, before joining World Supersport next season. His passion for racing remains.
“Because I think I still have a lot to give and that anger is🍰 what will give me the strength to achieve what I think I am prepared to achievꦡe.
“It has been a tough year, in which I hurt myself from the first moment and I have not felt good with the bike. It is true that there has not been good communication at a technical level with the team and🐽 the results have not lived up to my quality or my expectations, but that does not mean that I am going to fall apart.
“I will continue to fight and I know that my level is higher than shown. I just want to be in the right pl🔴ace to ♌be able to shine and I think next year I will have that opportunity and give my 100 percent.”
Sergio Garcia will replace Navarro in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 Moto2 rider line-up alongside Aron Canet.
