Having already raced in front o꧅f his home crowd at Misano last month, Rinaldi will look to do the same at Imola nextꦰ weekend.

However, the It🥂alian will need to undergo further medical checks, after recently undergoing an MRI follo🔯wing his Donington Park crash.

• Baz: Syke🎃s accident “was so scary, consequence could have been much worse” 
• Oett✤l: “It’s time to show results” amid rumours surrounding his Ducati future

What was already a disastr🍎ous weekend for the Italian prior to Race 2, Rinaldi was caught up 🔴in an accident involving Tom Sykes and Loris Baz.

After be♏ing hit by Baz’ Bonovo Action BMW, Rinaldi wဣas momentarily unconscious as claimed to remember nothing from his trip through the gravel. 

Rinaldi was then declared conscious after receiving medical treatment at th♍e side of the track, after an immediate red flag was waved to halt proceeding♑s. 

After undergoing an MRI two days ago, Ducati have confirmed that Rinaldi has suffered no lo💜ng-term damage from his injuries, which alongside a ‘mild concussion’ included a right ankle injury.

Ducati said: “Michael Rinaldi underwent a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (2 🐭days ag๊o) to rule out any long-term damage. 

“The result was normal. Next Thursday ༺(before the event), the rider will undergo all the required functional medical tests, in order to assess the consequences of the concussion and confirm that he is clear to ride at his home round.”

Along with his ﷺdramatic start to Race 2, Rinaldi also suffered lap-one issues in both Race 1 and the Superpole Race, both of﷽ which relegated him to the back of the field.

Rinaldi’s teammate Alvaro Bautista instead continued his stunning season after claiming victory in the two longer format races and ꦜP2 in the Superpole Race behind Toprak Razgatlioglu.
