TWO people were taken to hospital after suffering injuries in an Anglesey race track.
The incident took place at the No Limits Racing (NLR) meet at Anglesey Circuit at the weekend.
In a statement following the race, NLR said two riders, named as John Coughlan and Charlotte Marcuzzo, had clashed in the Trackday Addicts SuperTwins category.
Marcuzzo was airlifted to hospital, while Coughlan was transported by road ambulance, with both taken for further assessment and treatment.
NLR said both their injuries were "far less serious than initially feared", with Coughlan sustaining a complex injury to his arm and Marcuzzo "initially assessed as potentially having suffered a head injury" along with multiple other injuries.
Their statement read: "The incident involved two riders, John Coughlan and Charlotte Marcuzzo, competing in the Trackday Addicts SuperTwins category.
"Charlotte was airlifted to hospital, while John was transported by road ambulance, with both taken for further assessment and treatment.
"John sustained a complex injury to his arm, while Charlotte was initially assessed as potentially having suffered a head injury, along with multiple other injuries.
"Thankfully, following further medical assessment and diagnostic testing, we can now confirm that both riders’ injuries have been found to be far less serious than initially feared.
"Both are reported to be comfortable. We’re told it will understandably take a little time for them to make a full recovery, but the news is thankfully much more positive than we had initially feared.
"And honestly, that is a huge relief.
"John and Charlotte are two people who were here doing what they love, and when something like this happens, the racing quite rightly becomes completely secondary. Everyone’s thoughts turn to the riders, their families and getting them the care they need.
"We have remained in contact with both families throughout and will be making a personal visit to see them today. We’ll continue to stay in touch as they begin what we hope will be a straightforward, if understandably lengthy, road back to full recovery.
"Our thoughts are also very much with their families and loved ones. We can only imagine how worrying yesterday must have been for them.
"A massive thank you goes to our medical teams, first-response race marshals and North Wales Air Ambulance for the professionalism, care and speed with which they responded. What they do when an incident like this happens is quite remarkable, and yesterday was no exception.
"We’d also like to thank everyone at Anglesey for their patience and understanding while our officials and teams were tied up dealing with the incident.
"We know the interruption was significant, but when something like this happens, looking after the riders will always be the priority which we make no apologies for.
"For now, we’re simply relieved that we can share some better news.
"John and Charlotte — everyone here at No Limits is thinking of you. Take your time, concentrate on getting better, and we’ll see you back in the paddock when you’re ready."
