Gino Rea's family have provided an update on his condition, revealing that he is under sedation after suffering serious head injuries in a Suzuka 8 Hours crash.
The British rider was involved in a hefty crash at the final chicane in second practice for the Japanese enduro on Saturday morning, forcing him to miss both qualifying and the race itself.
Having flown from the UK on Monday, Rea’s family revealed that the 32-year-old had to be taken to an intensive care unit following the incident, where he was diagnosed with a broken left collarbone and serious head injuries. In Rea’s absence, Josh Hook and Mike de Meglio competed as a duo in the Suzuka 8 Hours for FIM Endurance World Championship regular FCC TSR, finishing 10th after losing time with a lengthy pitstop to fix a brake issue.We couldn’t make a post earlier this is due to the Japanese culture as they do not release any news to media without the direct contact with the family first.
