Alex Gelsomino’s Rally Tragedy: Injury Halts Martell’s Škoda Debut Milestone

In a shocking turn of events at the Southern Ohio Forest Rally, Conner Martell’s Škoda debut was abruptly cut short due to a devastating injury to his co-driver, Alex Gelsomino. The duo had a promising start, winning the opening stage of the rally but tragedy struck less than a mile into the race.

Piloting a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 from 2C Compétition, Martell blazed through the Yoctangee Street Stage, clinching the fastest time by a mere 0.1 seconds over Brandon Semenuk’s Open class Subaru. However, their triumph was short-lived as Gelsomino suffered discomfort after a rough landing on a jump during the stage.

Subsequent medical evaluation revealed that Gelsomino had sustained compression fractures of the T5 and T6 vertebrae, forcing an early end to their rally weekend. Taking to social media, Gelsomino shared, “The doctor said I can’t get back in the rally car today. The positives are that I don’t need surgery, and that Conner Martell and I won the stage where this unlucky mishap happened.”

Expressing gratitude towards the medical team and their supporters, Gelsomino continued, “Big thanks to the emergency medical team at the rally and at the Adena Regional Hospital that took care of me last night. Also massive thanks to our team 2C Compétition and all our sponsors for the hard work and support, as well as the many that sent messages to check on me. I’ll take a few weeks to recover and be back in the rally car better than ever.”

The incident not only halted Martell’s promising debut but also served as a stark reminder of the risks involved in the high-octane world of rally racing. As Gelsomino embarks on the road to recovery, the rally community sends their well-wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
