Jorge Navarro recalls red flag horror as he lay injured in Moto2 race: “All the ingredients for tragedy”

Pons rider Navarro fell and was struck by Simone Corsi, sustaining a broken femur🦂 and internal bleeding, but the race was controversially not red flagge൲d as he lay injured.
MotoGP riders including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez have demanded answers and now Navarro, who remains in an Australian hospital꧙ after surgery, has revealed his horrendous ordeal.

“It was l▨ike a train passed over me,” he told AS. “I didn't feel where it hit me. I just felt that ﷺmy leg was going to Sydney, as I jokingly say.
“It w൲as a super weird fall and, when I had not yet fallen completely, I noticed that something was happening over me and that I could not feel my leg. It was kind of loose. When I saw it, one part of the leg was looking one way and the other was looking at the other and I understood that it was something serious.
“I immediately🍬 ಌsignalled with my hands to the marshalls to come and assist me and stop the race.
“I was very broken and I couldn't even breathe and I became v🐠ery nervous. The leg was in pieces and Corsi ca🦄me to help me and took off my helmet, because I couldn't even breathe.
“As he did so, th💎e blood from his finger that had become annoyed 🌌fell on my leg and when I saw the blood on my leg I collapsed, because I thought it was mine.
“With a♒ lot of blood on top I was very scared. I re𒉰membered Tito Rabat at Silverstone, when he fell, was run over.

“[I was] a metre from the track and the bikes were passing so close and super fast. I was dying in pain. Honestly, th꧋e worst moment of 🦩my life.”
Navarro said about the inexplicable decision not to red flag the race: “I cannot explain it and nobody has given me any explanation. I don't get it. I don't know what else has to happen for them to raise a red flaꩵg in a situation like this.
“The bikes passed a metre-and-a-half from me. Yes it is true that it is😼 not a frequent point of fall, but two laps before I had fallen. Above tha𒈔t there was a bit of a side wind coming out of that curve.
“All the ingredients were given for there to be a tragedy. Luckily, it wa🍌s not my turn that day, but this cannot be repeated and we must take act𝕴ion on the matter. You can't let it go just like that and I don't know whose decision it was not to take out a red flag.
“I am a lucky guy and I was able to leave without problems other than a couple of mo♏nths off. There could have been another fatality.

“For me, the🍌 worst is over. I found myself in shit lying o൩n the side of the track, unable to move, and only with a marshall protecting me.
“Once I arrived ♏at the hosℱpital, everything has been more downhill.
“Now the most complicated thing is to return home, because of the thrombus issues, and start rehabilitation,ꦿ because right ℱnow my leg weighs me about three tons.”
Navarro explained about surgery on his leg: “According to what t💦he doctors told me, everything went well. When I arrived at the hospital, the femur was broken and very displaced.
“In🔯 addition, the femoral artery, which is one of the largest in the body, had lost a lot of blood.
“Luckily they were able to put a super long needle going from the hip to the knee and the bone is already in the place it touch💝es. Now it's time to recover the muscles little by little.
But this is the least of it and I have the motivat♕ion and desire to retur൩n to the bike, which are intact.”

Navarro will miss his home race, the Valenciꩲa Moto2, before j🌸oining World Supersport next season. His passion for racing remains.
“Because I🐟 think I still have a lot to♔ give and that anger is what will give me the strength to achieve what I think I am prepared to achieve.
“It has been a tough year, in which I hurt myself from the first moment and I have not felt good with the bike. It is true that there has not been good communication at a technical level with the team and the results have not lived up to my quality or my expectations, but that does not mean tওhat I am going to fall apart.
“I will continue to fight and I know that my level is higher tha🦩n shown. I just want to be in the right place to be able to shine and I think next year I will have that opportunity and give my 100 percent.”
Sergio Garcia will replace Navarro in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2023 Moto2 rider line-up alongside Aron Canet.
