Pol Espargaro is no longer in intensive care after suffering a crash during the season-opening Portuguese Grand Prix weekend but the road to a full recovery is long, GasGas Factory Racing Tech3 boss Herve Poncharal said on Friday.
Espargaro crashed in Friday practice in Portimao and suffered a pulmonary contusion, jaw fracture and a fractured dorsal vertebra after he was thrown off his bike and hit the barrier.
