VR46 Ducati rider Marco Bezzecchi says he “burnt my ass to try not to hit my arms” in a crash in MotoGP Indonesian GP practice just days after his collarbone surgery.
Bezzecchi, third in the championship, fractured his right collarbone in a crash while training at Valentino Rossi’s ranch last Saturday. The Italian underwent surgery on Sunday to have plates fitted to the collarbone and was cleared to race this weekend in Indonesia having only made it to Mandalika on Friday morning ahead of FP1.
But having felt better on Tuesday, he ultimately decided to fly to Indonesia on Wednesday following another check with his doctors – arriving on the island of Lombok where the Mandalika track is based on Friday morning. “To be honest, on Monday when I went back home Monday morning after the surgery, I felt very sh*t,” he explained. “So, the first thought was to skip this race and go directly to Phillip Island. But on Monday I went to the gym to work with Carlo and all my crew.
