Clearly, training when you are a Grand Prix driver means exposing yourself as much as during a meeting with your machine. For once, Aron canet had a narrow escape by cycling. He was hit head-on by an oncoming car. Circumstances that give you chills if you are willing to remember the case Nicky Hayden… But it was not the time for the new Max Racing Team driver who escaped almost unscathed!
Fortunately, the case reported by our partner Motoracing ended with no major injuries, but it was certainly not a pleasant experience for Aron canet. The Max Racing Team driver, who was training on his bike in Alzira, was hit by a car. The unfortunate man escaped with some bruises and damage to the bike.
Local police immediately went to the scene and an investigation was opened to understand the dynamics of the accident. Canet, who initially complained of leg pain, then went to hospital, where extensive examinations ruled out any possibility of injury. It appears that the driver of the car did not display any symptoms of alcohol or drug use, and the assumption, at the moment, is that it was a distraction on the part of the motorist .
The same Spanish pilot reassured everyone with a message left on his social profiles. “ In the end I only have a few shots" , said Canet, then explaining the incident. “ I was on the side of the road when a man ignored a solid line and touched me. He hit me on the shin, I literally flew away and the bike was destroyed."
As mentioned, fortunately there are only a few shots for the Spaniard, clearly upset but ready to continue his preparations for the new season. He will return to the track from February 20 to 22 for the first 2019 tests with Max Racing Team, structure Max Biaggi et Peter Öttl for whom he will be the only pilot. With a KTM.
