JAKARTA - Ducati Lenovo Enea Bastian was forced to pull over and not take part in the race in the first round of MotoGP 2023 at the Algarve Portimao International Circuit, Portugal, Saturday, March 25. This is due to an injury.

Quoted from the official MotoGP statement, Bastianini suffered a fracture in his right bulk which he found after the crash in the first Sprint Race round.

Bastianini was hit by friction or contact with Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) at Turn 5, causing Italian riders to lose balance and fall quite hard.

Quoting Antara, Bastianini was immediately taken to Faro Hospital where it was decided that further medical treatment would be needed.

Upon examination at the hospital, it was found that the fracture suffered by Bastianini forced him to miss the main race on Sunday (26/3) due to unsuited and possible conditions.

Marini said he was sorry for the accident, and hoped Bastianini could recover from his injury soon.

However, the rival and teammate of the Pecco Bagnaia world champion team said he hoped to recover soon and return to compete on the track.

"It's a shame I had to have a fracture. But of course it would feel good if I could come back stronger!" Bastianini said in a post on his social media.
