Aprilia Rider Injured at Ro Rally Marathon

Aprilia Tuareg Racing team rider Jacopo Cerutti has suffered serious leg injuries following a collision with a car during the Ro Rally Marathon in Romania, a European Tout Terrain Rally Cup Championship event.

The incident occurred on the sixth day of the Ro Rally Marathon, an event part of the European Tout Terrain Rally Cup Championship. Cerutti, a familiar name in off-road endurance racing, was participating in the challenging Romanian course when the collision took place.

According to Aprilia, the crash involved another vehicle. Further details regarding the circumstances of the collision have not been extensively released.

Cerutti is a decorated rider, having previously achieved victory in the prestigious Africa Eco Race twice. His team, Aprilia Tuareg Racing, has a strong history in endurance rallies, with Cerutti having contributed significantly to their successes, including a dominant performance in the 2024 Africa Eco Race.

💬 SideLine Take

It's a real shame to see a rider of Cerutti's caliber sidelined by such an avoidable incident. Rally raids are inherently dangerous, but a collision with a car underscores the risks that extend beyond the competitive elements of the sport.
