Toprak Razgatliogluꦿ’s crash while braking for the penultimate corner at Ma⛄gny-Cours in practice for this weekend’s WorldSBK French Round left the Turkish rider diagnosed with a collapsed lung.

As a result of of the injury, Razgatlioglu has been ruled unfit for this weekend’s races, but appears to have come away from the c🌱rash without a✅ny broken bones.

Such waꦑs the severity of Razgatlioglu’s impact with the wall on the inside of the penultimate tu💯rn, Eurosport analyst and former Grand Prix racer Danny Webb described Razgatlioglu as a “lucky boy” to only come away with a collapsed lung.

“It’s still a bad injury,” Webb said, “but he’s lucky not to have broken anything around that area as well. He’s a lucky boy, and hopefully he’ll be back💧 stronger than ever at the next round.”

Webb’s fellow Eurosport a📖nalyst, former BSB Champion Shane Byrne, agreed with Webb’s assessment.

“He [Razgatlioglu] appღroaches turn 15, probably doing 160mph there where he’s lost the front, and he’s slid down and collected the barrier there,” Byrne explained.

“Danny [Webb] hit the nail on the head: he’s just so,🦹 so lucky. I mean, a collapsed lung, nobody wants one of them, it’s sore, it’s painful. They’re talking about him being back in Cremona [round nine] in two weeks’ time.

“If he’s got away with nothing more than a collapsed♋ lung there then he’s got incredibly lucky.”

Overnight in Magny-Cou🅘rs, ahead of this morning’s Superpole session that saw Alex Lowes take pole position, padding has been added to the wall where Razgatlioglu impacted.
