As is legitimately customary when an accident occurs whose outcome is not known, the images of the one involving Bradley Smith at the start of the 24 Hours Motorcycles at Le Mans were not highlighted, neither during the live television broadcast, nor on the networks, nor of course here.
But things ended relatively well, the ex-MotoGP rider decided to publish these spectacular and frightening images himself. SO…
As a reminder, Bradly Smith miraculously doing relatively well. The 31-year-old Moto Ain Yamaha rider was taken to a nearby hospital suffering from severe pain in one of his hips. After spending the night there, the Briton left on Sunday without any fractures or serious injuries, despite the large bruise he suffered in the lower back which forced him to rest for several days, with the hope of being able to run during the first round of the MotoE World Cup in Jerez on the weekend of April 30 and May 1.
“I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped, cared for and supported me over the last 36 hours. It was a hell of a shock, and I'm lucky to be in 1 piece. Now I'm going home to start my rehabilitation. Although I didn't make it very far in the race, the @fim_ewc_official was an incredible event and the crowd and fans were 🔥🔥🔥🔥. It was so good to see so many familiar faces and feel the team spirit from the whole paddock. I couldn't have asked for better teammates, mechanics and staff. What a wild weekend, one for my old man storybook.”
