Paolo Simoncelli has expressed his sincere gratitude that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin avoided more serious injuries at the Q🍌atar MotoGꦛP.

MotoGP champion Martin suffered 11 rib fractures and a collapsed lung last weekend after crashingౠ i𓂃n Qatar.

He has endured a brutal 2025 since switching from Ducati to Aprilia, first highsiding on the opening morning of pre-season testing then brea𓆏king a delicate hand bone which ruled him out of the first three races.

But the fa𝓀ther of Marco Si𝕴moncelli, who tragically died after an accident in Sepang in 2011, was relieved to see Martin escape without worse injuries.

“We leave Qatar grateful, not for wha♒t happened but for what didn’t,” Paolo Simoncelli said.

“M༺artin came out ‘almost unscathed’ after the crash and being hit.

“Luckily, he was hit ten centimetres from the point🀅 of no return.

“It wasn’t the moment, iꦗt wasn’t destiny, call it what you want…

“In that handful of centimetres, tragedy could havꦑe been inevitable.”

Martin's first public words after the crash were: "Thankꩵ God this could have been much worse."

The hospitalised168澳洲5最新开奖结ꦓ果: Martin described his ♈pain as “intense”, although MotoGP medical director Dr. Angel Cha𓄧rte insisted “his injuries are progressing satisfactorily”﷽.

There is no timeline on Martin’s comeb👍ack bu🔯t it will inevitably be some time before he is on a MotoGP bike again.

Paolo Simoncelli: "A clear rule is needed"

Simoncelli considered the dangers iꦕn today’s grand prix racing.

“That’s why I started thinking abℱout the famous Misano kerbs,” he said.

“In the meantime, the ꦜincreasingly lightweight wheel rims, in the pursuit of performance at all costs, get bent and damaged and every time it’s a cost for teams.

“And then, perhaps, they were given the green light with too♓ much recklessness.

“Born to protect, but too often the source of problems, they carry their own reꦚsponsibility.

“On the other hand, it must be considered that to♐day’s riders hav෴e no rules.

“They know that beyond the corner there isn’t gravel, there isn’🥂t a cliff and it becomes the ‘off-track festival’.

“There is 🐼asphalt, and that changes everythin🧔g. Those who dare, don’t pay for it. Those who go wide, come back onto the track with no problems.

“Those who don’🙈t make mistakes…what kind of advantage do they have?

“We continue to 🍨reward risk🍨 and penalise precision.

“I’ve been say🐼ing this for a while: a clear rule is needed.

“For example, if you go o😼ff the 🀅track you get one-second penalty.

“Otherwise – since we can’t i🔯ntroduce moats full of crocodiles – we go back to the good old gravel. Where mistakes have a price. Where every action on the track mattersꦫ and teaches.”
