The Ioda team has released the following statement regarding the medical condition of Alex de 🦋Angelis, who suffered a heavy accident in Saturday practice for the Japanese MotoGP.

The session was halted as the Sammarinese receiv🃏ed lengthy medical treatment at the side of the Motegi c🥂ircuit, initial reports stating that the 31-year-old was 'conscious and breathing'.

de Angelis was then carefully move෴d to a waiting ambulance and taken to the circuit medic🧜al centre, before being airlifted to Dokkyo Hospital.

Although he has numerous fract🦄ures, the statement indicates de Angelis is conscious - 𝄹albeit with no memory of what happened - and 'excludes any spinal cord injury'.

ඣ"Alex De Angelis as a result of the crash during the Japanese GP FP4 reported a strong head injury for which he was transferred by helic🐬opter to the Dokkyo University Hospital near Tochigi," began the Ioda statement.

"Doctors at the hospital have undergone a CAT which hig♌hlighted the slight fracture of five vertebrae and three ribs.

"At this time Alex De Angelis is making all the routine tests while the orthopedic Dokkyo University Hospital excludes any sp🐽inal cord injury.

"Probably Alex De Angelis, who does not reme⛎mber because of the head injury dynamics of his accident, will be transfer🃏red to Italy during the next week.

"Mꦛore news will be delivered as soon as ava♌ilable."

The exact circumstances of the incident are unclear - no footage was shown - but de Angelis appears to have lost control on the exit of the turn nine left hander, causing him to veer back across the circuit (towards the inside of the corner) and into the metal trackside bar🌳rier.

de Angelis, whose ART machine is the least c⛎ompetitive on the grid, has scored a point on two occasions this year.
