Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —
Aleix Espargaro managed to come out as champion Catalunya MotoGP colored foot incident Francis Bagnaia ran over on Sunday (3/9) evening WIB.
The accident occurred at the first corner of the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit. This raises a red flag.
The successive collision that occurred started when Bastianini fell while devouring the first corner. The motorbike that Bastianini was riding on then hit a number of other racers who then fell because they couldn’t maintain the balance of their motorbikes.
This collision involved Bastianini, Alex Marquez, Johann Zarco, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzechi. After that it was Francesco Bagnaia’s turn to experience a highside in turn two.
Unfortunately, when he fell on the track, Bagnaia’s leg was run over by KTM racer, Brad Binder, who was right behind the Italian racer.
Binder seemed unable to avoid it and the motorbike he was riding ran over Bagnaia’s leg, who immediately received treatment from the medical team as soon as the red flag was raised.
After the race started again, two Aprilia racers Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales appeared fast on the track. Both immediately occupy the front position.
Vinales has been in the front position for a long time and looks like he will win the race this time. However, Espargaro was able to close the gap on his teammate towards the end of the race.
Espargaro was finally able to pass Vinales on the 19th lap. Espargaro maintained that position until the end.
Meanwhile, Vinales had to settle for second place and the final podium belonged to Jorge Martin.
