“Unfortunately I fractured my scapula, but the good thing will be to come back stronger!”. This is the message on Instagram from Enea Bastianini, who posted a photo from the hospital, with his arm around her neck but smiling. The Ducati rider, teammate of Pecco Bagnaia, crashed after being hit by the bike of Luca Marini, who was slipping, on the second lap of the sprint race.
The controversy does not subside after the accidents in the Portimao MotoGP sprint race. Meanwhile, however, Alex Marquez obtained the best time in the warm up of the Portuguese GP. The Gresini Ducati rider with a time of 1’38”719 preceded Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) by 153 thousandths and Marc Marquez (Honda) by 155 thousandths, who will start from pole position. Seventh fastest time (1’39”071) for the Ducati world champion, Francesco Bagnaia.
