Maria Herrera has been hospitalised after a crash on Sunday in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World🥀 Champi⛄onship.

“Rider #6 Maria Her🍬rera diagnosed with neck sprain and contusion,” a statement confirmed.

“She will be transported to Cremona Hos🥀pital for further assessm🧔ents.”

Herrera was running second in a hugely-exciting and competitive Race 2 at the Cremon🅺a Circuit in the WorldWCR series.

With five bikes challenging for position in the final exchanges, Herrera and Sara Sanchez clattered into each other, wiping each other out of the✃ race.

Sanchez was running fourth at the time.

Both riders were taken to the medical centre at the circu﷽it, but only Herrera went to hospital afterwards.

Ana Carrasco won Race 2 on Sunday to take the c🎐hampionship 🌊lead.

Hꦏeꦉrrera is second in the championship, now seven points behind.

Herrera had entered this weekend as the championship leader, and won Race 1 on Sat🐓urday.

But her DNF on Sunday opജened th🌞e door for Carrasco.

Two rounds remain in the inaugural season for 🐻the FIM Women’s Cir⛦cuit Racing World Championship.
