The fashion buyer and social media star was consoled by a member of Bagnaia's team, Ducati.

Bagnaia and Domizia are claimed to have been together for around seven years.

After initially receiving treatment on site, Bagnaia was taken to hospital.

On Bagnaia's condition, MotoGP Medical Director Dr. Angel Charte told DAZN: "Pecco has had severe polytrauma, a motorbike ran over him in the femoral and tibial area.

"We have taken x-rays of this area and have detected a small injury that we don't know if it is current or old.

"We need to do an urgent CAT scan and that is why we have sent him to the general hospital.

"At cranial, thoracic and abdominal levels, he has been normal at all times. He was conscious and oriented.

"The image we have seen is from conventional radiology, so it is difficult to be sure that there is no fracture. It is necessary to do a CAT scan."

Bagnaia yesterday shared a picture of himself from hospital, sat on a bed with a thumb up.

He captioned it: "Today I can only say thanks."
