wow and he is ok!

ITALIAN MotoGP rider Michele Pirro was taken to hospital after crashing his Ducati heavily in second practice for the Italian Grand Prix.

The factory test rider, who is entered as a wild card, lost control at the end of the main 350kph straight at the Mugello circuit and was thrown off the bike with the session brought to a halt.

He was confirmed as conscious, after being treated by doctors as he lay in the gravel, and transferred to hospital in nearby Florence.

Italian media reports said he would be kept under observation overnight but had not suffered any broken bones or serious injury.

Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti told the Gazzetta dello Sport that Pirro could not recall the crash but was talking.

Ducati teammate Jorge Lorenzo said the entire team had been shaken.

“The fall was scary, I saw him after it happened and I don’t ever want to see that again,” said Lorenzo.

“Michele is a friend. We have to wait 24 hours before we understand what happened. The cause I don’t know,” the three-time world MotoGP champion said, adding the problem could have been the brakes.

He was walking around in the pits and grid the very next day. Eyes look like someone moered him, and wore a sling for his dislocated shoulder. But apart from that he was fine

I honestly love and respect Moto GP and Race car drivers the most - They survive the most horrific accidents and walk around the next day. Or if its broken they start racing 3 weeks later!

Its amazing their will power and body strength

Brad Binder is the current Moto 3 world champ. He has been struggling a bit to adjust with the Moto 2 Bikes and battling injuries, but now he is back on form!
