NJMP Lightning June 30, Low Side.

On June 30, I participated in the NJMP Track Day, (Lightning circuit). Late in the afternoon I crashed, (I think between turn one and two). Because I was unconscious a short period of time after the crash, a block of time has been erased from my memory. I have no recollection of the actual event or where it occurred. I'm trying to piece together to event, (learn from mistakes) to avoid the same. My ride is a 2017 Ducati Panigale #42. Fortunately my only injury, (pride notwithstanding) is a minor fracture to both hands. If anyone has any recollection or information or video regarding my Ducati low-siding, please share.

Thank you for the healing up wishes.

My Ducati suffered some damage to the clutch cover, (it got sheared off) and the open clutch parts were spinning in the grass / dirt while the bike was on its' side. I have some work to do and $$ to spend. My suit (Dainese D-Air Mugello) did its job well. The air bags deployed and likely prevented collarbone / shoulder / rib injury. This is my first crash in two years.
