The first race of the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship at Misano on Saturday was halted due to a major accident involving Mia Rusthen. The Norwegian rider, who was in 12th place, fell on entry to the final corner with just over 7 laps remaining. The exact circumstances of Rusthen’s crash are unclear, but TV images showed her bike tumbling through the gravel trap at high speed. Rusthen received medical treatment at the scene before being flown by helicopter to hospital for further assessment and treatment after sustaining unspecified ‘polytrauma’ injuries.
Afterwards, Maria Herrara continued to lead the race from Ana Carrasco. However, a five-lap restart was delayed until the afternoon and was almost immediately halted by a fall for Jessica Howden at Turn 2. Howden suffered a concussion and was also rushed to hospital.
The third start over five laps saw Lena Kemmer have a slight scare when she tangled with a rival off the line but managed to recover unharmed.
In an incredible turn of events, Herrera made history by holding off Carrasco for victory after trading places on the final lap. All riders in the championship use Yamaha R7 machines.
