From the first laps this Sunday, November 3, a spectacular crash involved several drivers, before the victory of Francesco Bagnaia.
The Italian Francesco Bagnaia scored a proud victory during the Malaysian MotoGP Grand Prix, this Sunday, November 3 in Sepang. Having fallen the day before, he won ahead of his rival Jorge Martin, second, but to whom the title seems promised during the final round of the world championship, on November 17 in Spain. This Sunday, the penultimate lifting of the year was spectacular to say the least.

And this, from the first turns of the wheels. Indeed, a violent fall involved several drivers in the second turn, just after the start. A massive fall which led to the cessation of the debates for almost 20 minutes.
Involved in the accident: Frenchman Fabio Quartararo. His rear wheel was in fact hit by the head of the Australian Jack Miller, himself having gone to the mat a few seconds earlier. The Gapençais thus fell, sliding in the gravel. A fall which required medical assistance, but which did not prevent Quartararo from taking the handlebars again.
