After the serious accident in the morning involving Mia Rusthen, who was airlifted to Bufalini in Cesena due to polytrauma, Race 1 of the Women’s World Championship experienced other moments of apprehension in the afternoon, when Jessica Howden was the victim of a fall in turn 2.
The dynamics of the accident are not clear, but the pilot reported a cranioencephalic trauma, to the point that she too was airlifted to the Bufalini hospital in Cesena. Fortunately Jessica Howden is conscious and this is the most important thing while waiting for new information about it.
On the track it was a real challenge Maria Herrera to win the first race of the finale. On the last lap, the Forward rider actually made the winning attack against Ana Carrascoachieving success on Saturday.
The Evan Bros driver was therefore mocked, forced to console herself with second place while finishing the podium Sara Sanchezcompleting the trio of Spanish girls.
Instead, he remains off the podium Roberta Ponziani with Beatriz Neila fifth ahead of the Chilean Isis Carreno. In the top ten there is then room for Michel and Ruiz while Van Aswegen remains out.
Beyond Herrera’s victory, in these hours the biggest challenge is certainly being faced by Mia Rhusten, whose condition is critical.
