UPDATE: Davies has a thorax trauma with some difficulties breathing. After an MRI scan at Rimini hospital, Davies is confirmed to have suffered a fracture of the transverse process of L3 (3rd lumbar vertebrae) and left thumb contusion.

Chaz Davies has been taken to Rimini hospital for further medical 🌜assessments after his final lap crash with Jonathan Rea in race one at Misano.

The World Superbike championship title contenders were battling for victor💟y and at the C🌌arro hairpin Davies appear to tuck the front of his Aruba.it Racing Ducati.

With Rea directly behind Davies at the tight right-hanꦑder he had nowhere to go and ran straight into the stricken Davies, causing them both to tumble off.

After being taken to the medical centre at M🤪isano, Davies has been tr⛎ansferred to the Rimini hospital for further medical checks.

In a bizarre end to the race, in which Marco Melandri also fell on the last lap while in third, Tom Sykes went from fourth to win the race ahead of A😼lex Lowes while Rea was able to remount and finish 🉐third.
