North West 200 @northwest200
We have a red flag here so more news as soon as we get it.

La bandera roja fue a raíz de una caída en Primrose corner del piloto francés Franck Petricola, el cual está en condición crítica en el Royal Victoria Hospital de Belfast.





Si bien Petricola está ingresado en la UVI, los informes apuntan a que su vida no corre peligro.

Una curiosidad con respecto a éste accidente es que Petricola estaba a los mandos de una BMW S1000RR muy peculiar: la misma unidad que con la que Antonio Maeso disputó el TT de 2012 (Petricola es el nuevo piloto de Martimotos para el TT 2014)

Si su vida no corre peligro, de lo cual me alegro muchisimo, solo espero que de esas lesiones no tenga ninguna secuela. De momento no se sabe nada

BBC Sport - Rider critical after crash at North West 200 practice session

ÁNIMO FRANCK!!

Declaraciones de Paul Shoesmith, team manager del equipo Ice Valley en el que corría Franck Petricola:

“Ok I need to let everyone know about Franck to stop the gossip and rumours. Franck had a heavy
crash at primrose corner in the Superstock practice. He was treated immediately by the fantastic circuit doctor at the track side. He was unconscious but vital signes were all good. He was sedated and put on a ventilator to look after him and he was soon airlifted to Belfast royal. The doctors main concern was head injury. The next few hours were difficult for us all but the hospital came back with news after his scans and told us that he did have a knock to the head and a bruise on the brain but nothing serious. They went on to tell us of his further injuries which they said were all revocable. He has a break in his neck which is not dangerous and will heal with no affect. Both arms have breaks. Both legs have breaks, he has a collapsed lung with is now inflated and doing well, some chest injury which will heal in time. Some breaks need surgery which they think will be done today as it’s easier on the body to do while he is sedated. He will be under sedation for at least another 72 hours to allow his body to settle into the natural healing process. Although these are terrible injuries, doctors say he will fully recover from this.Franck is in for a hard time in the coming months to keeps the bills paid and so on so I want to create a fund where we fellow racers and race fans can help h in his time of need and get him back out on a race bike again. I have been as accurate and truthful as I can be and I hope I have not stepped out of line at all in telling everyone the way it really is. As of late last night there had been no deterioration so all the signed are good.
We will speak to the hospital again this morning for an update”.

Vamos, que si todo lo que dice es cierto, ya puede hacer el camino de santiago, ir a lourdes, covadonga, montserrat y caravaca de la cruz a rezar, porque con ese parte de lesiones y que pueda tener plena recuperacion, es tener la virgencita de tu parte.

Para lo que estamos acostumbrados en las road races, son buenas noticias dentro de la gravedad

Si no he entendido mal, los pilotos darán ahora dos vueltas de reconocimieto al circuito, volverán al pit lane para poder realizar los últimos ajustes, luego darán una vuelta más de reconocimiento, y a continuación se alinearán en la parrilla para comenzar la carrera de Supersport.

Arrancó la carrera de Supersport.
 Buena salida de las Triumph de Rutter y Johnson.
