Further updates have arrived on the conditions of Aleix Espargarò and Lorenzo Savadoriboth protagonists of two bad falls during the Sprint race in Assen. A few hours after the checkered flag, Aprilia had published a statement in which it reassured its fans and enthusiasts about the injury of the riders, results conscious and without any type of serious symptomatology.
However, following more in-depth medical examinations, both Espargarò and Savadori have unfortunately reported some fractures. Limited to the Spaniard, who actually seemed to have pain in his hand after getting up, the CT scan found the simple fracture of the 5th metacarpal. His presence for the race now remains in strong doubt, even if he will undergo new medical checks before the warm up.
Unfortunately, Leonardo Savadori, who is a wild card this weekend, will not take part in the Dutch Grand Prix. The rider from Cesena had fallen during the 5th lap, even if the images of his accident have never been shown by international directors, so it is not known what really happened. In any case, “Savadori was subjected to a further clinical and instrumental examination which highlighted multiple fractures of the transverse processes of the lumbar spine. This damage makes it impossible to race the race at Assen.”
