The MotoGP current are decidedly delicate as evidenced by the Dutch Grand Prix on several occasions. At Assen Fabio Quartararo crashed twice because when he was thrown from his Yamaha at the exit from the grapple that ends the first sector because the sensor that regulates the traction control was damaged during the first crash.
Luca Marini and Miguel Oliveira, on the other hand, both declared that they had played a race ruined by contacts with Joan Mir respectively immediately after and just before the switching on and off of the traffic lights. Oliveira hit Mir by positioning himself on the starting grid due to an unexpected braking by the Spaniard who surprised the Portuguese. The Suzuki rider then left, swerving to the left and hitting the fairing of Luca Marini’s Ducati which resulted in the wing breaking.
“A difficult race, decided immediately at the start. I made my departure trying to hold the line, but suddenly I saw Mir. I think his bike has reared up, it’s not easy to keep control in those situations, but it was a dangerous situation. I tried to do everything possible to avoid it, we touched each other, fortunately I didn’t crash also because I had several riders behind me. In the collision, a wing of the motorcycle broke and from that moment it was impossible to ride. I didn’t want to retire, I held out and tried to cross the finish line “, has explained Luca Marini.
“I was looking for my place on the grid and I didn’t expect Joan to brake so hard. It could have been a worse crash, but I broke the brake lever guard and also the right side capsule and it was hard to run without. The bike was a bit unstable in the fast parts – sectors two and four – and I also lost a few tenths of a second. Finishing in the top ten was positive, but it’s always frustrating when you know you could have done better “analysis instead of Miguel Oliveira.
