World Superbike racer Danilo Petrucci was seriously injured in a crash while training on his motocross bike Thursday in Italy.
 
The news was announced by the Italian himself via social media.
 
“Yesterday during motocross training on the Cingoli track I lost control of the bike before a jump and so instead of braking the bike accelerated,” Petrucci posted, according to a translation by Facebook. “I jumped a lot and crashed to the ground. It was one of the scariest falls of my life. Cracked some teeth, jaw in two parts, clavicle and shoulder along with various skin cuts. Thank you for all the messages, hope to be back smiling soon.”
 
Petrucci, who rides a Ducati Panigale V4 R for Barni Spark Racing Team, is currently fifth in the FIM Superbike World Championship point standings.
