Louis Rossi has come a long way after suffering a fall at the beginning of September at Le Castelet during the Bol d'Or. By the Frenchman's own admission, it is the most serious accident he has had to suffer in his career. The winner of the French Moto3 Grand Prix is only recovering from this sad event which forced him to lie down for six weeks. Standing up and sitting in an armchair is a victory. That is to say…
It is a testimony both poignant and reassuring that Louis Rossi delivered on Ouest France. On his experience, he admits: “ I was afraid but in principle I should not have any after-effects from the accident. I don't expect to walk normally again until the end of the year". An accident that he remembers very well: “ yes because I did not lose consciousness. I crashed at 170 km/h at the entrance to the Mistral straight, at Le Castellet. My bike started to steer and I started rolling on the track. This is my biggest motorcycle injury ».
Louis Rossi: “ my dearest wish is to race in the world endurance championship next year«
After four pelvic fractures, he now has to rebuild and he will have to work for several weeks before recovering his strength. But for all that, he will not stop his career: “ I certainly don't want to stop on one injury. Nothing has been decided yet but my dearest wish is to race in the world endurance championship next year… he said.
Pilots are definitely beings apart but in the case of Louis Rossi, there is a plus to recover faster… “ Claude Michy regularly sends me survival kits, in short, lots of Auvergne specialties… ". The trials did not get the better of his humor, and that is the best sign!
