Not good Hospitalised Danilo Petrucci's update after 'one of scariest falls of my life' | World Superbikes | Crash Danilo Petrucci has delivered an update on his condition from his hospital bed. "Yesterday during a motocross training I lost control of the bike before a jump," he said on Friday. WorldSBK round at Assen. He was hospitalised and must undergo surgeries on his many injuries. Barni Ducati released a statement saying: “As a result of a fall during training with the motocross bike, Danilo Petrucci suffered a fracture of his right collarbone and jaw. “The Barni Spark Racing Team rider has always remained conscious and will undergo surgery. Danilo was in Cingoli for a day of preparation for the next WorldSBK round.” Clearly Petrucci is now a major doubt for the Assen round, the third of the 2024 WSBK season. He has started his second year in WSBK brightly, and is sixth in the standings after two rounds. Dreadfully, Petrucci's hospitalisation came just days after former MotoGP teammate Andrea Dovizioso also crashed. Dovizioso, also on a motocross bike, avoided a major head injury when his CT scan returned a negative result.
