3, 4, 5ĭespite the high rate of accidents, the presumed severity of the injuries and popularity of this sport, little is published in the literature about the incidence, characteristics and consequences of these accidents, with most studies merely descriptive and involving one or two large competitions. 1 For this reason, despite their low incidence, the injuries sustained during these accidents frequently are associated with different patterns of fracture, some of which require surgical repair and/or stabilization. One of the most important characteristics of Motorcycle MotoGP riders is the high speeds at which they compete, averaging 4 h at speeds up to 344 km/h at each event.
observed overall incidence rates for injury of 1.3% and 1.5%, occurring at Mondelo Park racetrack during the 19 seasons, respectively. 1ĭespite the high estimated incidence of high-speed accidents that occur annually, only a small percentage of riders sustain significant injuries. Bedolla et al., in a study that incorporated the three US MotoGP races during the 2013 season of the “American Red Bull MotoGP” series, estimated roughly 500–600 accidents per year. Accidents in elite classes are common, but their incidence is not well established. Elite motorcycle racing is a popular sport which attracts many spectators worldwide.
