Honda rider Luca Marini is currently hospitalized following a severe crash during a training session at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan. The 27-year-old Italian, who is 13th in the 2025 MotoGP world championship standings, suffered multiple injuries including a dislocated hip, sternum fractures, a collapsed right lung, and knee ligament damage.

Marini was preparing for the Suzuka 8 Hour, an annual endurance race held at the Honda-owned Suzuka Circuit, when the incident occurred on Wednesday. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and is now reported to be in stable condition.

In a message posted on Instagram, Marini expressed his gratitude for the support he has received: "Thanks everyone for the support. I'll keep you posted."

Honda has announced that Marini will remain under observation in Japan until he is deemed fit to travel. This incident comes just ahead of the eighth race of the 2025 MotoGP season, scheduled for June 8 in Aragon, Spain. The team has yet to announce whether Marini will be able to participate in the upcoming race.

The Suzuka Circuit, known for its challenging layout, has seen its share of high-profile accidents over the years. This incident highlights the inherent risks in motorsport, even during training sessions.

Marini's condition will be closely monitored by both his team and fans worldwide, as they hope for a swift and full recovery for the talented rider.
