At 12.
54 today, just minutes before the end of morning session of official Superbike testing at Imola, Spanish rider Joan Lascorz lost control of his Kawasaki in the uphill section of the circuit from Tosa to Piratella and crashed.
The rider was immediately given medical assistance and transported to the circuit Medical Centre where, after first aid operations had been performed, a probable fracture of the vertebra was diagnosed.
Dr.
Giancarlo Caroli, the Imola circuit medical officer, therefore decided to air-lift the rider immediately to the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna by helicopter.
Joan Lascorz will be recovered in the spinal injury unit of the Bologna hospital.
Lascorz was seriously injured in 2010 during the Supersport round at Silverstone and spent months in recovery and rehabilitation and hopefully he will again be able to return to full health and fitness as soon as possible.
More news when we get it.
UPDATE:According to rumors from the Italian press, Lascorz has fractured his 5th cervical vertebrae, while the Spanish press is reporting that the Kawasaki rider is currently undergoing surgery on his 6th.
