The Spanish rider suffered a brake failure on his motorcycle, which ended up crashing into the air defenses of the circuit
The Spanish Maverick Viñales has suffered a severe fall in turn one of the circuit, without physical damage to the pilot despite the fact that he launched at more than 200 kilometers per hour due to a failure in the brakes of his motorcycle, which brutally impacted against the air defenses of the circuit and the subsequent fire of his Yamaha YZR M 1, forcing the Race Direction to show a red flag.
«You say, you can’t stay on the bike when something like this happens. You have to throw yourself and then you will stop. It is not that there was no brake, it is that it was broken directly by the temperature and I threw myself “, explained the pilot after the race, with a smile on his face that contrasted with the shocking of the incident.
