Moto3 gave Austin moments of real terror, but luckily everything worked out for the best. Everyone was still thinking about the tragedy of Dean Berta Vinales last weekend in Jerez, so what happened during the Grand Prix of the Americas really froze the blood.
The race had already been stopped due to an accident involving Filip Salac. The Prustel GP driver was conscious, but he had been lying next to the track at the exit of turn 11, so the race was stopped before the arrival of the group. The Czech driver, who had also lost a glove in the accident, was subsequently taken to the hospital for a total body CT scan, but the first indications to the Medical Center were positive, because there seemed to be no particularly significant injuries.
At the restart, with the race set to a distance of just five laps, on the third lap, the end of the world really happened on the opposite straight: Deniz Oncu marched Jeremy Alcoba on the opposite straight, but then the Turkish cut the way to the Gresini Racing driver, who lost the front and slipped, with his Honda remaining in the middle of the track.
At that point, Andrea Migno and Pedro Acosta, who were behind him, could not do anything to avoid it, both taking off in an impressive way, with the Spaniard of the KTM Ajo who was even thrown against the barriers.
Miraculously, all the riders who followed managed to avoid both the bikes, which flew through the air like bullets, and the guys who were left in the middle of the track, so they all came out unscathed from an accident that could have had truly dramatic consequences. The anger of the drivers involved was evident, so it will be the case that the Race Direction takes exemplary measures. But it must be said that Oncu has already been put under investigation.
Given the delays accumulated, in the end it was not possible to resume the race, so the victory, the first of his career, was assigned to Izan Guevara, who commanded the race at the first interruption. The curious thing is that at the restart the Aspar Team rider stopped due to a technical problem.
Also on the podium are Dennis Foggia and John McPhee, with the Italian who then manages to further reduce his gap against Acosta, who is still ranked eighth despite the accident. Now the Spaniard leads the standings with a margin of 30 points over the Italian of Leopard Racing.
