A horrible fall involving Alex Marquez and Pedro Acosta occurred during the 12th lap of the Catalan Grand Prix. The KTM rider had a mechanical failure, and, given the close proximity, Marquez was unable to avoid him. The impact caused #73 to lose control of his bike and head into the barriers, where he was thrown off his bike.
Alex Marquez rolled for several meters along a trajectory that was dangerous relative to the barriers, even fi he didn't hit them head-on. The Gresini rider, who was reported to be conscious a few minutes after the red flag was waved, was then assisted by paramedics and taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Further updates on the rider’s condition are expected.
