It’s bad news in the D34G Racing camp after the WorldSSP round at Estoril. Filippo Fuligni sustained broken bones (literally) following a crash during Race 2, at the first corner of lap three. After being hit by another rider, the Italian was transported to the circuit medical centre and then to Lisbon hospital, where he is currently an in-patient.

The rider has been diagnosed with a pelvic fracture that will require surgery, which will take place on Thursday.

"I want to update everyone as to my condition after the serious accident I was involved in on Sunday, during the second SSP race at Estoril. After coming into initial contact with another rider at turn 1, I crashed and was in the middle of the track when unfortunately I was hit in the lower back by another rider. I suffered various pelvic fractures as a result of the impact. I received immediate help and was stabilised by circuit medical staff before being urgently transported to the São José University Hospital in Lisbon where I am now”, write Filippo on social media.

“I will be operated on on Thursday morning by Dr Antonio Camacho, who will reduce the pelvic fracture and allow it to knit. I want to thank all the staff at the Estoril circuit, the Dorna and Clinica Mobile doctors and the whole hospital team for their fantastic work and for everything they’ve done and will do for me on my path to recovery. Further updates to follow after Thursday’s surgery".
