quote:

Morbidelli collided with Zarco on the run through the fast Turn 2 kink as the Avintia Ducati rider moved slightly off line under braking, with the pair sent hurtling into the gravel at horrifying speeds.

Morbidelli's errant Petronas SRT Yamaha narrowly flew between Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales, while Zarco's demolished Ducati just missed the latter's head.

The race was red-flagged while the track was cleaned, with the world feed showing replays of the incident several times - with the riders watching on in their garages.

Is Rossi riding moto2 now? This looks so much worse than the crash that actually killed Simoncelli a few years ago

I saw those posted last night on FB. It was a bad weekend for wrecks. Never heard if anyone was seriously hurt.

Didn’t realize another crash at the end of the video.

No, he was the one that almost got taken out. I'm not sure why it's saying moto 2 on the video.

I can’t believe those bikes missed the riders in the turn

Watched the race yesterday morning. Vinales and Rossi are both dead instantly if they get hit. Crazy. This season has been awesome to watch with Marquez on the bench. It’s great to see KTM in the mix up front too.

I asked my Pops once why he never wanted to ride a motorcycle. He said, "Boy, they ain't got enough doors."

I could never come up with a good retort to that statement.

That old baw in the neon yellow helmet needs to buy his guardian angel a beer. He almost got smoked by both runaway motorcycles.

There’s a great article on Superbikeplanet about Valentino’s “luck”.

It’s true. God loves Valentino Rossi more.
