BMW says Danilo Petrucci’s Czech WorldSBK injury is a “big blow” ahead of a test at Misano.
Danilo Petrucci’s WorldSBK return timeline is uncertain after his major crash in Race 1 at Most, which led to a fractured coccyx and other injuries.
Following the crash, Petrucci flew back to Italy for further examinations on Sunday.
The race was red-flagged as Petrucci received immediate medical attention and was then transported to the hospital.
With Petrucci sidelined, Michael Van Der Mark is currently the sole rider for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team.
Both Petrucci and Miguel Oliveira are out due to injuries, leading Van Der Mark to continue riding for the team in the upcoming Aragon round later this month.
ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team’s Team Principal Shaun Muir expressed sympathy for Petrucci’s situation and highlighted the team’s determination to navigate the challenges ahead and return stronger with both riders fully recovered.
