Suzuka is a relentless track. At the height of his myth is his danger and Luca Marini is the last samples of this. The Italian pilot was testing to compete in the 8 hours of Suzuka when he suffered a serious accident, and from which they have not transcended the details.
What is known is that after the fall, Marini was transferred to the hospital and stabilized, subsequently confirming the dislocation of the left hip, damage the ligaments of the left knee, fractures in the sternum and the left clavicle and suffered a pneumothorax on the right side.
A list of overwhelming injuries for the Italian pilot, which through its networks has uploaded a photo and thanks. At the moment, Marini will have to continue in Japan until he receives the approval to travel back to Italy. It will be then, when the days go by, when you can start talking about recovery deadlines.
There is no doubt that it is a serious setback for Marini, which in fact after the first test day of the Honda CBR1000RR-R, it seems that it had been discarded by its size. Even so, Marini decided to go on a second day even knowing that the safest thing was that Iker Lecuona was the third pilot of the structure in the 8 hours of Suzuka.
Marini’s fall remembers Suzuka’s danger
The 8 hours are a mythical test where there are, but that has been disputed in an obsolete circuit for more than two decades as far as security is concerned. Although at the plotted level it may be the most spectacular and technical in the world, the escapes are very limited and have not changed in recent decades.
That makes it a track considered extremely dangerous for a long time, as much as the more than 20 years that MotoGP has not just stomped there not only to the fatal accident of the Daijiro de Kato, but also to other serious falls recorded above.
In any case, the important thing is that Luca Marini is in the hospital with injuries to which he will recover. Another issue will be the time late and who will pilot his motorcycle in the next great awards, starting with Aragon in a little more than a week.
