The Catalonia MotoGP Grand Prix was marked by a shocking accident involving the Spanish rider Álex Márquez, which generated moments of great concern at the circuit and forced the race to be stopped with a red flag.
The incident occurred on lap 12 when Pedro Acosta, who was leading the race, suffered a mechanical problem with his KTM exiting turn 10. The Red Bull rider's bike suddenly lost speed on the straight, and Márquez, who was very close behind, had no room to avoid the impact. The Ducati GP26 crashed violently into the back of the KTM, and the rider was thrown to one side of the track.
The scene generated immediate concern: the Gresini Racing rider ended up lying on the grass after sliding just inches from the barrier, while the remains of his bike were scattered across the circuit. In fact, the violence of the crash caused the visor of his helmet to be ejected.
