Quartararo and Zarco in progress (MotoGP)

However, the Malaysian Grand Prix could have gone very badly for the Yamaha rider, caught at the second corner in a collision with the two KTMs of Miller Binder. Red flag, new departure procedure… “I was able to return fairly quickly to collect my second motorcycle despite a big crutch on my thighsaid the Nice resident.
