Race 1 at Imola was marred by this particular accident on lap 2.
Sylvain Guintoli who was highly tipped to take at least podium this past World Superbike weekend, instead ended up tangling with Leon Haslam at the Tamburello, the BMW rider got away safely and took a third place podium, while the Effenbert Liberty rider binned it taking out a hapless Chaz Davies.
Davies luckily didn’t re-injury himself – he skipped the season opener at Phillip Island with a fractured wrist – while the French rider had to take a trip to the medical centre where he was treated for some heavily bruised ribs.
Davies finished race 2 in 14th, while Guintoli who was shot up with potent painkillers concluded in 11th.
