A shoulder injury caused GoEleven Ducati rider Chaz Davies to abandon an already di🔯sastrous WorldSBK weekend in Misano early. 

Davies was scoreless after race one due to a crash at turn four, before contact with Lucas🌸 Mahias saw hi💝m fall again at turn two on the opening lap of Sunday morning’s Superpole race. 

The second of the two tumbles had a more significant impact than the first, as Davies suffered a shoulder injury to his right arm that after a few la🅘ps in race two, resulted in th𓃲e Welsh rider cutting his efforts short and retiring.

Davies said he could have continued, but felt his arm would have been in𒀰 a ‘bad place’, when only a couple of points were realistically on the table. 

"Unf﷽ortunately not a good weekend and not a good day at all! In the Superpole Race I thought we had maybe improved the bike a little bit; for what I felt from the warm-up lap, so I was charged up for the race, trying to put myself in the first couple of rows for the main race," added Davies.

"I had a good start, then from turn 1 to turn 2 I was on the inside, but when we went left I didn't anticipate how much Mahias was gonna stop and 💎I just caught his rear wheel. 

"My bike was quite upright, I crashed and I landed very hard on my shoulder. I tried to recover in the best possible way between the two races to reduce my pain, but I knew it would have been𓃲 really tough. 

"I had no power on the right corners and in the hard braking zones - there are so many here. The left was ok, but the right was very difficult. I did aꦉ few laps and the pain was increasing and increasing and I continued losing the power and the control a little bit. 

"It just made no sense to continue. I could have got a couple of points, but I would have b🌃een in a bad place and in a bad feeling in the end, and possibly do more damage. Now I will do a shoulder check and have a rest for a couple of days and hopefully be ok for Donington!"
