FRENCH ROUND | SATURDAY
September 7, 2024
Sensational comeback by Alvaro from 17th to podium (P2).
Alvaro, forced to start from the seventeenth position after Saturday’s challenging qualifying session, was forced to accentuate his braking at the first corner to avoid some slower riders. He lost control of the bike, crashing and suffering a rib fracture.
Declared unfit for Race 2, Bautista will undergo medical checks ahead of the Cremona round in the coming days.

“There’s not much to say. It’s been an unlucky weekend. Unfortunately, after the start of the Superpole Race, I couldn’t avoid contact with a rider much slower than me, and in the crash, I injured myself. Patience is needed now. I hope to recover for Cremona”.
