“Hey everyone, just a🅠 quick update on how my recovery is going,” began Dixon. “As you may have seen in🐻 the background, we’re still not home.
“After such a big crash in Qatar I wasn’t allowed to fly home because I had a few things wrong with me from such ♓a massive crash and a big impact.
“The main thing is that my lung wasn’t fit to fly. We have some more scans on S🅘unday to understand when exactly I can fly home.
“I just want ♏to thank everyone involved, the medical staff here in Qatar, all of the medical staff at Dorna and everyone invꦿolved in MotoGP to get me to the hospital safely and to get all the correct scans and to make sure I’m in the best hands possible.
“And thanks to my team obviously, and my m꧅anagement that helped not only me, but my wife because she was there alone and I wasn’t, at the time, really cooperating properly.
“Thanks💟 to everyone for the support in what's been a really 🌌frustrating time. I’m very thankful to be okay after this crash but I thought I would give everybody a quick update on how things are going.
