Pramac MotoGP rider Morbidelli kept in hospital after heavy training fall
Italian rider Franco Morbidelli, who recently joined the Pramac team from Yamaha, was involved in a heavy crash during a private test at the Algarve Circuit in Portugal. Although the event was organized by the Aruba Ducati team, medical personnel were present, but not in the usual numbers found at a grand prix. The Marquez brothers, Alex and Marc, who will be riding for Gresini in 2024, stopped their bikes and assisted in evacuating Morbidelli from the track after the crash. Morbidelli was taken to Faro Hospital, where a CT scan revealed a small blood clot in his head. While the initial impressions are positive, further tests are being conducted to confirm that he has no further issues. Morbidelli is expected to remain in the hospital for another day and will likely travel back to Italy in the coming days. If cleared by medical personnel, he should be able to participate in the upcoming test in Malaysia.
