These are moments of great expectation in Misano regarding the condition of Mia Rusthen. The Norwegian driver was in fact the victim of a bad accident when there were seven laps to go in Race 1 of the Women's.
According to what we have seen from the images, the pilot ended up on the ground at Misano 2, in the same spot where Alessia Polita crashed back in the day. Immediate intervention was made by emergency vehicles.
We therefore remain waiting for updates.
Mia Rusthen is an experienced rider: she started racing in the Norwegian championship, taking 3rd place in the Junior Supersport 300 the following year. During the Covid year, 2020, she hit six second places in the Solør Extreme Cup. In 2021, she was second overall, again in the SS 300.
In 2023 she finished 10th overall in the Women's European Championship with a sixth place as her best result. Since childhood Mia dreamed of becoming a dancer, and from the age of four she spent many hours dancing. "The turning point then came in 2016 ," she writes on her website, " when my father took me to the racetrack for the first time at that moment the spark was ignited with the first ride on the bike. I was terrified at first, but also completely hooked. It was a huge surprise for everyone, especially for me who was a small and fragile dancer always dressed in pink."
