Luca Marini, MotoGP rider for Honda HRC, has suffered a violent crash: here’s the latest on his condition.
Bad news from Japan for Luca Marini. During testing ahead of the prestigious Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race, the Italian rider from Pesaro was involved in a heavy accident that resulted in serious injuries.
The medical report confirms the severity: Marini sustained a dislocated left hip, ligament damage in his left knee, fractures to his sternum and left collarbone, as well as a pneumothorax in his right lung. A complex clinical picture that will require time and specific treatment for a full recovery.
The incident marks a significant setback for Valentino Rossi’s younger brother, who had taken on the endurance challenge with great determination. Recovery timelines are still uncertain, but it’s clear that a return to racing won’t happen anytime soon — a tough blow for Honda HRC, which had shown promising signs of improvement in recent races.
The entire GPKingdom team sends its support and best wishes: stay strong and get well soon, Luca!
