MotoGP, Marquez, spiderman, slips in the wet...in pitlane

Marc Marquez' usual spiderman jump didn't go to plan during the bike change practice in today's wet MotoGP warm-up.

The Spaniard's right hand probably slipped on the wet tank.
This is why they practice of course, to improve. Marc was nevertheless able to avoid falling between the two bikes, but his latest acrobatics have certainly not helped his shoulder that he recently injured in Austria. While he was riding along pitlane to return to the track, the Spaniard looked to be trying to loosen the muscles. The incident may well have caused problems had it happened in the race.

In the 'real' flag to flag, if it takes place, mechanics will be careful to keep the tank as dry as possible, seeing as Marc is unlikely to do away with his trademark jump.

An additional problem when, from 2017, there will only be four mechanics on hand.
