How is Marco Bezzecchi doing after his crash at 200 all’ora: updates from the hospital

Marco Bezzecchi suffered a terrifying crash during the Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix: the Aprilia rider lost control of his bike on the third lap of the race, veering off the track at nearly 200 all’ora in Turn 15. The rider from Rimini rolled over several times in the gravel and on a stretch of asphalt, sending shivers down the spines of everyone—fans and officials alike.

The former MotoGP World Championship leader (overtaken by his teammate Jorge Martin right at the end of this race) remained conscious and sat up on the ground, in pain, when first responders reached him. The Italian rider was immediately transported to the medical center: initial examinations ruled out serious injuries; the rider is fully conscious and has normal mobility in all four limbs.

However, Bezzecchi is experiencing severe neck and chest pain resulting from the impact, and the medical team has decided to transfer him to the University Hospital of Groningen for further examination. Updates on his condition will be provided in the coming hours. “Following his crash at the Dutch Grand Prix, Marco Bezzecchi was immediately transported to the circuit’s medical center, where he underwent a thorough examination by the medical team, including Dr. Ángel Charte, MotoGP’s medical director,” the Aprilia team stated.

“Initial clinical examinations confirmed that the rider was fully conscious and had normal mobility in all four limbs, with no immediate signs of serious neurological or systemic complications.”

“Due to the severe pain resulting from the violent impact, the medical team decided to transfer Bezzecchi to the University Medical Center Groningen (Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen). This transfer will allow him to undergo in-depth diagnostic imaging and specialized scans to definitively rule out any underlying injuries and ensure a full recovery.”
