• Update on Francesco Bagnaia🌊 and Enea Bastianini injuries after Catalunya MotoGP

Bagnaia highsided on the first ♔lap then, when🌳 he landed on the ground, his legs were struck by Brad Binder’s KTM.

He was rushed away to hospital but it has since been confirmed 🐬that he suffered no major damage.

“I had a lot of luck today. I have to be thankful,” Bagnaia said as he left hospital in Barce🔥lona on crutches.

“Sometimes you need to have luck.”

Asked how he hig💞hsided, Bagnaia replied: “I don’t know. I had very low grip on the warm-up lap.

“And I just took a very big hit. It was not a n𓄧ormal highside.

“It’s veℱry hard to understand what happened at the moment.

“For sure, it wasn’t a normal crash.

“The rear grip t🌱hat I had in the warm-up lap wasn’t normal.”

Astonishingly the factory Ducati rider🎃 could return to continue the defence of his MotoGP championship next weekend.

“We’ll do everything we can to 💛be in Misano, and t🤡o do well,” he said.

Bagnaia remains at the summit of the MotoGP standingꦛs, aiming for a se🔴cond title in a row.

His teammate Enea Bastianini, though, will n🐻eed surgery after a separaꦓte crash at the Catalunya MotoGP just moments before Bagnaia’s.

Every rider dedica🎃ted their performance to Bagnaia as he lay in hospital post-race, with Marc Marquez insisting that the entire sport was lucky that no serious harm came to him.

Bagnaia was able to⭕ fly back to Ita✅ly on Sunday night.
