On September 10, 2020, motorcycle racer Ana Carrasco was lying in the gravel at the side of Lisbon's famous Estoril circuit, barely conscious, surrounded by concerned medics.
Moments earlier, practicing for the weekend's SuperSport race meeting, she had approached a corner at speed and lost control of her Kawasaki. The bike spat the petite Spaniard into the gravel, sending her sprawling. "It was my first time in a strange track, so I went much faster than what was possible in one corner and I went out into the gravel," Carrasco tells CNN from her home in Barcelona. "It was not a big crash, for sure, it was maybe a stupid crash, but I had bad luck and I was injured a lot in this stupid crash."More Related News
