Moto GP rider suffers serious injuries after horror Portuguese Grand Prix crash
His bike was an instant write off, while medics tended to Espargaro at the barrier he appeared to hit. He was thankfully conscious.Espargaro was seen coming over the crest at turn ten, where he was reportedly caught out by a cold rear tyre in second practice, with his KTM bike quickly shaking him off, throwing him to the tarmac.
He then went on a terrifying roll into the barriers, and was then diagnosed with back and chest trauma but declared conscious. After receiving treatment at the track, Espargaro was taken to Faro hospital, and MotoGP’s medical director has since offered the following update.“Pol Espargaro has had a high-intensity crash and suffered multiple traumas,” Dr. Angel Charte said.
“His oxygen levels are good, but he has quite a significant lung contusion, the extent of which we will need to confirm with CT scans and MRIs at Faro hospital. “He has suffered severe spinal trauma and a contusion to his lungs which we will have to monitor closely. Although I think he will recover well, we need to conduct the appropriate tests to determine the extent of his injuries.“He is conscious, alert, and responding well. He is slightly sedated due to the painkillers we have administered. He can move his feet, legs, and arms perfectly well, so there is no reason to fear any permanent spinal injury.
