Jonathan Rea’s lap one crash in WorldSBK Race 1 at the French WorldSBK ha🌃s resulted 🅷in a fractured thumb.

Rea staꩵrted the race eighth, and crashed simultaneously with Nicolo Bulega, alꦰthough there was no contact between the two, at the final chicane on lap one.

Rea walked away holding his wrist and went to the medical centre, where he has since received the diagnosis of a frac𒈔tured right thumb, as well as a deep wound.

Rea will now be tra꧑nsported to Moulins Hospital, where Toprak Razgatlioglu was sent on Friday following his FP2 crash that has seen him ruled unfit for the rest🔥 of this weekend, for further treatment.

The Yamaha rider is not yet out of this weekend for c꧙ertain, but will be reviewed on Sunday morning before the Warm Up session to evaluate his fitness and determine whether he will be able to continue to compete in the Wo💃rldSBK French Round.

After this weekend, Rea will have two weeks to recover before the ninth round of t🔯he championship at Cremona on 20-22 September.
