Morbidelli has come forward to reveal previously unknown consequences of his Portimao crash
Pramac rider Franco Morbidelli has revealed that he lost his memory for two weeks following his horrific training crash before the start of the 2024 MotoGP season in January. Morbidelli was preparing for the new campaign on a Ducati V4 Panigale road bike in Portimao when he crashed at Turn 7 on an outlap and hit the tarmac with his head, which left him reportedly unconscious at the track. The Italian had to be taken to hospital, where the doctors discovered that a clot had developed in his head.
But my whole team at Pramac and the sporting family that surrounds me have been great,' he assured. “Getting back on the bike was a very tough challenge: in short, I hadn't done it for three months, since the last race of 2023, in Valencia. “For a month, I didn't train. I was coming off a bad injury, which the only way to overcome is to stay still: you feel good, but the people around you know that's not true.
