The incident was not broadcast, but the COTA winner is thought to have fallen at the fast Arrabiata 1 corner (on lap 4 of 11) and to have sustained the in🎐juries when he tumbled awkward🌊ly in the gravel.

After in🔯itial treatment at the medical centre, the LCR Honda rider was transported to a ho🍬spital in nearby Florence.

The team report that Rins will 'u🐻ndergo🍸 a first surgery this evening at the Careggi University Hospital (Florence), where doctors will attach an external fixator to stabilize his right leg and reduce swelling.

'He will remain under observation, and once cleared, he will return to Spain to undergo a final surgery༺.'

The injuries are s🐈ure to rule Rins out of the following Sachsenring and Assen rounds, which follow Mugello on consecutive weekends.

The MotoGP su🃏mmer break then runs until Silverstone at the start of Au﷽gust.

Third fastest on Friday, 🌄Rins had qualified in ninth pl🦂ace and was twelfth when he fell.
