Luca Marini delivers injury update after undergoing surgery
The Mooney VR46 rider, Luca Marini, immediately flew back to Italy after crashing in Saturday’s sprint race. He fractured his collarbone in a collision with his teammate, Marco Bezzecchi, falling shoulder-first on the Buddh Circuit track. As a result, Marini will miss this weekend’s Japanese MotoGP as he recovers from surgery. Despite the setback, Marini remains optimistic, stating, “Not one of my best periods, but it’s starting…” Upon his return, Marini will have to face a double long lap penalty for aggressive contact with another rider at Turn 1, severely impacting his race. VR46 team manager Pablo Nieto expressed regret for the incident and wished Marini a speedy recovery, adding that they look forward to seeing him back on the track soon to continue competing at the highest level.
