Italian MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi, currently ranked third in the championship, faced a setback when he fractured his right collarbone during a training session at Valentino Rossi’s ranch last Saturday. The injury could have potentially sidelined him from racing this weekend in Indonesia.
Surgery and Recovery
Fortunately, Bezzecchi underwent successful surgery on Sunday, where plates were fitted to his collarbone. Despite the recent operation, he was determined to compete in the race in Indonesia and both his doctors and team cleared him to participate.
Race Weekend Arrival
Due to the tight schedule, Bezzecchi only managed to make it to Mandalika on Friday morning, just ahead of the first practice session (FP1). Considering the limited time for preparation, expectations were moderate for the Italian rider.
Crash during Practice
In the opening practice session, Bezzecchi unfortunately suffered another crash. However, his determination and skill allowed him to continue without further significant injuries.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Bezzecchi’s perseverance and dedication shone through as he pushed himself to recover swiftly and adapt to the circuit conditions quickly.
