Rusthen was attended to at the scene of the accident and then transported to the Bufalini Trauma Center in Cesena. She was diagnosed with a concussion and is now in stable condition.
After the race resumed, another incident occurred involving South African rider Jessica Howden. Howden was conscious but was also taken to the Bufalini Trauma Center with a concussion. A third start took place, and although there was another accident involving a rider hitting the wall, rider Lena Kemmer managed to walk away from the accident site.
In the end, the race ended with the victory of Maria Herrera, a MotoE regular, by a narrow margin of 0.067s against Ana Carrasco, a Moto3 veteran and 2018 Supersport 300 world champion.
