From the second corner of the Grand Prix this Sunday, the Australian Jack Miller fell, taking the Frenchman with him, ultimately 6th in the race.
More fear than harm. This Sunday on the Sepang circuit in Malaysia, during the Grand Prix won by Francesco Bagnaia ahead of Jorge Martin, a massive crash in the second corner interrupted the race for around twenty minutes. At the origin of the pileup, Australian Jack Miller (KTM) hit the rear wheel of Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) with his head, unbalancing the Frenchman who ended up in the gravel. South African Brad Binder (KTM), who also fell during the incident, was forced to retire following a “sun” above his bike.
While the first medical examinations did not detect any “serious injury” according to the organizers for Miller, who also abandoned, Quartararo got back on his bike to finally finish in a nice 6th place, his best performance of the season. “A little sore in the shoulder and leg but it's okay. We saved ourselves from a big fall for us and especially for Jack and Brad. The consequence of the fall is not too serious after all.», reacted the French pilot at the microphone of Canal+ at the end of the race.
