Michele Pirro has been taken to hospital following his heavy fall during the second free practice session at Mug♑ello ahead of the Italian MotoGP, suffering dislocated shoulders and concussion.

The factory Ducati rider, entered as a wildcard for the Ital🐻ian race, had finished FP1 second on the times but saw his afternoon session ended by a nasty crash at the brak⭕ing zone for Turn 1 at Mugello.

Pirro appeared to have a high-speed 𒆙wobble coming down the hill at the start of the braking zone before his brakes jolted the GP18 which sent the It🥂alian rider over the handlebars and into the air.

The session was immediately red flagged and Pirro is reported to have suffered concussion in the fall while also sustaining a dislocated right shoulder. The Italian was treated at the trackside by medics – before being transported to the circuit medical centre b🔯y ambulance.

Pirro was then taken to Florence hospital by 👍air ambulance with the MotoGP medical director confirming he has suffered trauma to his chest, abdomen and spine in the crash.

Ducati has since confirmed: "After first checks at the Medical Center of Mugello, Pirro was꧃ diagnosed with concussion and dislocated right shoulder, which was put back into place. The Full B🌜ody Scan done at Careggi Hospital of Florence was positive and there are no further complications.

"As always in these cases, Pirro will remain in hospital overnight under observation, at ♛least until tomorrow morning."

Pirro, a fo🔴rmer World Supersport and Moto2 race winner, has been a Ducati test and reserve rider since 2013 while he has also made stand-in appearances for the Italian manufacturer in the World Superbike championship.
