Luca Lunetta was the victim of a horrific crash at Assen – and now, the young Italian rider has shared shocking images of his badly injured knee.
More than two months have passed since the dramatic incident, but concern over the Roman rider’s condition has never really faded.
After what he described as “a complicated period,” the Sic58 rider has broken his silence by posting the first images of his recovery on Instagram.

What happened in Assen
The crash occurred on the final lap of the race, when Lunetta was caught up in contact with Fernandez and Furusato. Struck by one bike on the leg and another on the back, the young Sic58 Squadra Corse rider was left writhing in pain on the asphalt. Race Direction was forced to red-flag the event.
Subsequent hospital checks confirmed the diagnosis: a multi-fragment fracture of the tibia and fibula – a serious injury that required immediate surgery in Groningen.
From the very beginning, however, the team reassured fans about Lunetta’s condition and highlighted his determination to face the long recovery ahead.
