Factory Honda rider Luca Marini dislocated his hip and sustained multiple injuries while testing for the Suzuka 8 Hours.
Marini’s injuries include left knee ligament damage, fractures in his sternum and left collarbone, and a pneumothorax.
He is currently hospitalized and under observation, with his participation in the next MotoGP race in Spain uncertain.
Due to height differences, Marini will not compete in the 8 Hours, with Johann Zarco leading the team alongside Iker Lecuona and Takumi Takahashi.
Meanwhile, Trackhouse Aprilia’s rookie Ai Ogura is recovering from a tibia fracture and undergoing surgery in the hopes of returning for the Aragon race.
