Update: Joan Lascorz' Medical Condition

Following Joan's accident at Imola during official Superbike World Championship testing on Monday April 2nd, we would like to inform you of the following updates.

Joan Lascorz is conscious and remains hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital de la Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona, and will remain so until a build-up of lung mucus is eradicated. The initial idea was to move Joan this past week into a specialist recovery centre within the hospital, but doctors will most likely wait until next week to make the move.

In relation to any spinal cord injury, the forecast is reserved until he leaves the ICU and starts working towards recovery.

Team Manager, personal manager and friend of Joan Lascorz, Guim Roda, spoke about Joan and his condition recently. He stated, "First of all we want to thank everyone for the interest and respect shown after Joan's accident, especially in his native Spain, but also from all over the world. Friends, industry professionals and journalists - many thanks for all the support.
