First clue dropped about Mia Rusthen’s 2025 racing plans as recovery continues
Mia Rusthen is in the WSBK paddock in Jerez this weekend
Mia Rusthen was welcomed back into the World Superbikes paddock on Friday.
Rusthen crashed heavily and suffered worrying injuries in the first FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship race in June.
She was in a coma and has continued her rehabilitation in her native Norway.
But, four months later at the WSBK season finale this weekend, she made her comeback into the paddock.
A truly special moment! ✨
