A terrible bang, on a curve to be done with the gas wide open and in full sixth. The crash of Danilo Petrucci on Sunday at the Virginia Raceway in Alton – in the fourth round of the MotoAmerica Superbike championship, where the rider from Terni is busy this year – fortunately did not cost him points, because it happened after crossing the finish line. But his body went worse, so much so that the former Ducati in MotoGP suffered several injuries, after finishing third race-2 behind Jake Gagne (the 2021 Champion of the category) and Mathew Scholtz.
Petrucci controversy
–
Danilo crashed at the end of the straight due to his Ducati closing the steering while he was at a speed of 280 per hour. Fortunately he got up, so go with your own legs to the medical center for all the necessary investigations. On the other hand, the behavior of the staff on the track remains inexplicable: no one, in fact, worried about the state of health of the Terni, who had to do everything himself. A treatment that he did not like at all, so much so that he told everything in a post on Instagram, accompanied by a photo showing the wounds in the bang: “Just to inform you – writes Petrucci – I fell at 280 km / h on the finish line, which is on a bend of sixth flood, to avoid one of my adversaries (Scholtz, ed) “.
loves sbk, and rescue?

Then Petrucci concludes: “I have knocked out three advertising panels, I have several burns and bruises and a deep cut in the ankle with five points. I rolled over a hundred meters, one of the worst falls of my career. I was lying on the ground for more than two minutes with the noise of the motorcycles passing by without anyone helping me, until I got up alone and walked to the medical center “. In the end, the worst escaped, but the ugly gesture of the Virginia Raceway staff remains. Meanwhile, with the fourth and third places conquered in races 1 and 2, the former Ducati is still in the lead in the MotoAmerica standings at 104, Scholtz and Gagne follow from second and third with 100 and 91 points respectively.
