Both his hand and ankle were immobilized with casts to allow him to travel to Italy tonight. He will have to undergo surgery on his ankle and, to speed up his recovery, he will also have surgery on his hand" in the next few days.

Dr. Angel Charte, medical director of the MotoGP, had soì communicated the outcome of the first examinations: "Bagnaia had a major injury, a motorcycle è passed in the area of his femur and tibia. Now è it is necessary to carry out an X-ray in the hospital to check for possible fractures".

"The examinations will tell us if the femur and tibia have any injuries, I think he will have good news anyway, with these first examinations we have not found any deformities" but more checks are needed. The images at first glance seem to speak of fractures belonging to the past, but it will be necessary to carry out a CT scan in the hospital in Barcelona".
