Esteve Rabat spoke on social networks for the first time since his accident.
It's a message that many have been waiting for. Generally, as long as a pilot does not communicate himself on his social networks, this often means that he is not yet in a condition to do so, and this thus gives indications on his condition.
But this time, here it is: after three days without direct news from him, Esteve Rabat finally published a note to thank his fans for their support. The words are brief, but cover the essentials: " Hello everyone ! Thank you very much for your messages and all your support! I'm already recovering and can't wait to go home. » The message is accompanied by a photo in which we see him smiling in his hospital room, using a walker to stand.
Hello to all! Much thanks for the messages and all of them! You will recover and think about it when you fly at home.
Thank you very much for all your support. Already recovering and looking forward to go back home.#MotoGP#BritishGP#realeavintiaracing pic.twitter.com/jc4PCxe45G— Tito Rabat (@TitoRabat) August 28, 2018
It must be said that we feared the worst following the accident which occurred at the end of FP4 at Silverstone. Violently hit by Franco Morbidelli's motorcycle following the successive falls of several riders due to aquaplaning, Tito Rabat was seen in a very bad posture. In great pain and for a long time on the ground with the doctors, he had been airlifted to the nearest hospital, and the injury did not look pretty.
Ultimately, his tibia-fibula-femur surgery went well and everything stabilized properly. However, it will take him a long time before he hopes to return to the track.
