The Irish rider suffered minor internal bleeding but was fortuna🍰tely cleared of any further injuries. 

Laverty initially suffered pelvic and hip fractures during the fall as he was collectedꦜ by Fores, who had nowhere to go after seeing Laverty crash whilst directly in front of him. 

But after a second stay in the Alfred hospital, Laverty has siꦛnce returned to his home in Portugal. 

Laverty said: "I felt more ready to leave hospita🐷l the second time around as it took some time for everything to settle down after such a trauma. 

"I’ve been very fortunate to have my wife Pippa by my side throughout and we’re both very happy to return home following an extended period in Ausꦕtralia. 

"It wasn’t the wayꦓ I wanted to finish my racing career in WorldSBK, but I was giving it my everything and that’s how it should be."

The race was won by WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista after a red flag w𓄧🐽as deployed immediately following Laverty’s accident.

Keen to thank WorldSBK officials and the medical staff trackside that helped treat him, Laverty🌜 added: "I want to thank WorldSBK race direction for red flagging the race immediately and all the medical staff at Phillip Island for taking such good care of me in the immediate aftermath of the crash. 

"There is a very 𒈔good system in place to ensure that fallen rideℱrs are looked after and I owe a lot to them."
