Franco Morbidelli, no test. Marc Marquez explains what è happened

No test in Malaysia for Franco Morbidelli: a bad tegola for the Roman centaur, victim last Tuesday of an accident while training on the Portimao track with the other VR46 Academy riders. The new Ducati Pramac centaur has a head injury and will remain in Italy to recover: the rider will do everything to be present at the tests in Losail, Qatar, scheduled for February 19 and 20.

Rescuing him first on the track were brothers Marc Marquez and Alex Marquez, who found Morbidelli unconscious on the ground after the blow to the head: "We saw that Franco was completely unconscious in the escape route. He was in a rather strange position, with his head turned upward", explained the eight-time world champion.

"Alex and I stopped immediately, leaving the bikes on the ground and ran to Franco to put him in the side position, becauseé, if you are unconscious and look up è dangerous, not being able to breathe well".

"We turned him over, opened his suit and helmet visor and waited for help. When the medics arrived, we went back to the pit. On the track we are opponents, but also colleagues and we want the best for all our opponents", are the words of the Catalan at an event with the sponsors of the Gresini team in Jakarta.
