MotoGP: Another chill in Moto3: “It has been an almost fatal fall, we cannot continue like this”

Two pilots, the leader Pedro Acosta and Andrea Migno, fly over another, Jeremy Alcoba, and the race of the small category is suspended

• Tragedy Dean Berta Viales, Maverick’s second cousin, dies in a serious accident at the Jerez circuit

“It has been an almost fatal fall. We cannot continue like this. Something else does not have to happen to change things. This is very dangerous. I don’t know what needs to change, but this has to change. Luckily all I have is fear “. Andrea Migno, 25 years old, nine seasons in Moto3, a broken rider.

Around him, several teenagers celebrated, among themselves, Izn Guevara, only 17 years old, who achieved his first victory in the World Cup thanks to the suspension of the race, but for the Italian Migno the only important thing this Sunday in Austin is that everyone was alive. It may seem exaggerated, but for a couple of minutes that maxim was in doubt. Very in doubt.

After a first suspension of the race in the small category, the test was resumed on the American circuit just five laps away and in the third, ugh! In the middle of the straight, the Turk Can Oncu crossed in front of Jeremy Alcoba, it went to the ground and they flew over his motorcycle Pedro Acosta, who ended up against the wall, and Migno himself.

An immense fortune. Because if instead of hitting the machine, both had collided with the pilot, the tragedy would have crossed motorcycling once again. As soon as the four injured riders got to their feet, the entire paddock relaxed and then another kind of nerves came.

Acosta’s title, close

Very few times in history had a race had to be suspended twice so no one knew how it would be solved. Will you run again? Will the test be completely canceled? With the title at stake, with Acosta very close to being proclaimed champion, all the teams ran to pressure those responsible for Race Direction and, in the end, the regulations were imposed.

In the event of a second race suspension, the result prior to the first suspension is validated and thus Guevara finished first ahead of the Italian Dennis Foggis and from the scotch John McPhee. Acosta was eighth so in the next race he will be champion if he wins. As Migno recalled, the important thing this Sunday in Austin was not that, but that everyone made it out alive.
