Spaniard Jorge Martin, Moto3 rider for Fausto Gresini's team and current fourth in the World Championship, was hit by a car while riding his bicycle on the road during a practice session.

The Gresini Racing team reports that he is currently undergoing a complete examination to determine the extent of his possible injuries. More precise information will be communicated as soon as available.

Of course, this accident is reminiscent of the tragic death of Nicky Hayden, still present in everyone's memories. John McPhee was the victim of an identical incident, when a motorist pinned him against a wall along the road last week. However, he participated, although reduced, in the Misano GP.

We will give you some news, hopefully good ones, from Jorge Martin as soon as possible.
