MotoGP: Dovizioso recounts injury: 'I will have to be in a wheelchair for 3 weeks'

Two weeks have passed since the bad accident that Andrea Dovizioso had to deal with while riding his dirt bike. Regarding what happened and his health condition, the rider from Forlì wanted to send a message on social media, thanking and at the same time updating all fans about his recovery path.

"Hi everyone, I thought I would make a video to thank you. In the last week I have received unexpected support, so I wanted to thank you and update you about my situation - Dovi wrote - Unfortunately I broke my right collarbone, they had to operate because it was pretty bad having then to put in place the acromion ligaments. As for the other fractures nothing serious, it takes some patience. The fact is that I broke two ribs, three vertebral apophyses, a small crack in the sternum, I upset the nerve in my left knee, I had a small paresis in my foot but it's already 100% recovered. I broke my left wrist, but it is compounded. Also I have a small fracture of the acetabulum in my pelvis, as a result I will have to use the wheelchair for 2-3 weeks. I believe that what happens to you in life, when you take these blows, gives you a chance to understand many things, that is, to understand what you want to live on and what you want to do."

In this regard Dovi sends a message to those who never left him alone: "I wanted to thank the people around me, in fact I consider myself very lucky. Yuri is the person who has experienced so many good moments with me, but at the same time also the difficult ones like this one, because when you find yourself on the ground that you have to regain consciousness and you are fractured, these are tough moments and it takes cold blood. Then there is Fabrizio Borra, with whom we have established a relationship since 2005 that has become friendship and mutual esteem. Every time he sees my number in his cell phone he always answers. Having this timeliness and directing me in the best way makes all the difference for me. His family and the Physiology Center will definitely see a lot more of me. Also, Dr. Porcellini, this is not the first time he has operated on me. He has always been very helpful, even this time he managed to pamper me, do a great operation on my collarbone and manage me on everything else in my body."

Finally,Dovi does not forget the days of his hospitalization: "I spent a tough week at the hospital in Sassuolo, but the whole team made me live those six days in the best way. Therefore, I want to thank both the hospital in Florence and the hospital in Sassuolo. I also thank that crazy guy Chionne, aka Grizzly, a friend who is a former physical therapist. Hearing his opinion always makes a difference to me and reassures me. My family and friends have been there for me. Thank you for everything, now we'll get back on track and go again."
