The eni FIM Superbike World Championship would like to express its support to Alessia Polita and her family through this difficult time.

Following the dramatic crash that involved the 27 year old Italian during the first qualifying session of the Italian Superstock 600 at Misano, the two-time Italian Champion had been transferred to Cesena's Bufalini hospital. The neurosurgical operation she underwent for a broken 12th vertebra was carried out successfully, although the spinal cord injury had been confirmed.

Alessia Polita recently took part as substitute rider for Team VFT Racing in the Italian Round of World Supersport at Monza.
