Big scare after a few meters of the American Grand Prix. Piqueras and Ferrandez himself at the medical center did not leave again. Various penalties

So much fear in Moto2 in Austin. The intermediate class interrupted the race after a few meters due to a very serious accident. It all started with a maneuver by Alberto Ferrandez, who, trying to avoid another rider, fell at turn 11. The high-speed slide had the effect of hitting Filip Salac and causing a huge carambola in the middle of the group. In addition to the two names already mentioned, there are five other drivers involved: Sergio Garcia, Collin Veijer, David Alonso and Angel Piqueras. The accident prompted Race Direction to stop the Grand Prix.

All the protagonists of this unfortunate episode are conscious, but Piqueras himself seems to have suffered the worst consequences. Hit in the back by a motorbike, the Spaniard was transported to the medical center for further checks. Similar speech for Ferrandez. The two drivers will not take part in the GP of the Americas, which will start with the same positions as the original start, as required by the regulations when the first three laps are not completed. The race will resume with only 10 laps compared to the 16 laps initially planned. This will also allow drivers who fell before the episode to get back into the race. For example, Daniel Holgado, who fell at the first corner after colliding with Joe Roberts, will also be able to compete.
