Axel Pons suffers a blood clot in the brain

The Moto2 race was suspended with two laps to go because of the crash suffered by Axel Pons, as the Catalan rider ended up right in the middle of the track and the marshals were forced to show the red flag.

The Malaysian Grand Prix has been very eventful. Before the tragedy of Marco Simoncelli, we had already seen the Moto2 race red-flagged after Axel Pons crashed with two laps to go.

Pons went down and lay motionless in the middle of the track, which prompted a swift reaction from the marshals and the red flag that ended the race for the intermediate category, with everyone worried about the Catalan rider, who had taken a serious blow to the head.

After the initial check, Pons was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, where a blood clot in the brain was detected. The blow the Catalan rider took to the head was undoubtedly brutal. The first CT scan appeared normal, but the one at the hospital later revealed the clot.

Therefore, Axel will have to stay in that hospital for a few days, although we are waiting for the doctors to deliver their definitive diagnosis today.

We sincerely hope that the news following today’s medical review is good. Hang in there!!

  3. Hola Francisco J.
    Pues si, la verdad es que fue un mal Gran Premio el de Sepang, por suerte Pons ya está en Barcelona, y ahora sólo toca ver si podrá estar en Valencia o si tendrá que verlo desde la grada, pero por suerte está bien.

    saludos
