The Irish rider suffered minor internal bleeding but was fortunately cleared of any further injurie🍬s.
Laverty initially suffered pelvic an꧅d hip fractures during the fall as he was collected by Fores, who had nowhere to go after seeing Laverty crash whilst directly in front of him.
But after a second stay in the Al༒fred hospital, Laverty has since returned to his home in Portugal.
Laverty﷽ said: "I felt more ready to leave hospital the second time around as it took some time for everything to settle down after such a trauma.
"I’ve been very fortunate to 𓆉have my wife Pippa by my side throughout and we’re both very happy to return home following an extended period in Australia.
"It wasn’t the way I wanted to finish my ✤racing career in WorldSBK, but I was giving ꦏit my everything and that’s how it should be."
The race was won by WorldSBK champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista after a red flag was deployed immediately following La▨verty’s accident.
Keen to thank WorldSBK oꦉfficials and the medical staff trackside that helped treat him, Laverty added: "I want to thank WorldSBK race direction for red flagging the race immediately and all the medical staff at Phillip Island for taking such good care of me in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
"There is a very good system in place to ensure that fallen riders are looked after and I owe a lot to the꧒ౠm."
