🧔He feared a fractured collarbone - but a visit to hospital confirmed this was not the case.

A statement 𒀰to from Iannone addre💞ssed his crash, and his comeback plans: "I have a complete training programme this year. Several tests performed professionally. 

“I feel good and I don't think I've lost speed in these years but I have nothing to say for now. It would be ju🐭st talk, and therefore useless. 

“When the time comes to talk about my plans I will. Unfortunately today it went lik🎀e this: I did not enter the ꧒gear at the Tornantino, I went straight and then I fell hitting my shoulder heavily. 

“We were🌟n't pulling, we were spinning on the low 1. 40 and the lap follows I would have stopped.”

Iannone may find his chances to return to MotoGP limited but options may exist in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbikes for after his ban ends in December 2023.
