Injured Michele Pirro rages at “bowling” crash: “I am very angry”
The Ducati test and reserve rider, Michele Pirro, was involved in a collision with Lorenzo Zanetti during the Italian Superbike (CIV) series title decider, resulting in him losing the opportunity to defend his championship. Pirro underwent surgery for a fractured left leg and expressed his sarcastic disappointment on social media regarding Zanetti’s maneuver. He emphasized that such actions should not be accepted in the sport, especially when there is a risk of causing harm to others. Pirro’s main concern is his health and the prevention of younger riders from following such examples. He revealed from his hospital bed that he had undergone a procedure involving four screws and a few stitches. Unfortunately, Pirro joins the list of injured Ducati riders, including Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini, whose participation in upcoming races is uncertain due to their collarbone injuries. Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianini, who also ride for Ducati, are dealing with their own physical problems ahead of the upcoming Mandalika race.
