The Barcelona Grand Prix could hardly have ended worse for the Ducati factory team. Both drivers fell after a few seconds and had to be taken to the hospital with injuries. Enea Bastianini, who will probably miss three MotoGP races, was particularly badly hit.
What happened? “La Bestia” slipped away in the first corner and cleared away several drivers. Just a few meters ahead, a highsider threw World Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia onto the asphalt, KTM rider Brad Binder was unable to avoid it and ran over the Italian’s leg. While “Pecco” surprisingly got away with minor injuries, the diagnosis of his team-mate looks more serious. Indonesian start shakyBastianini suffered a broken left ankle and a fracture in the second metacarpal of his left hand, he was operated on Monday evening in Modena. As Ducati has now confirmed, the 25-year-old will most likely miss both his home race in Misano and the two overseas races in India and Japan. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to compete in Indonesia in mid-October fractured his right shoulder blade in a fall and subsequently missed four races. A season to forget for the 2022 World Cup bronze medalist…
