That video is not available to me in my location.
But here is the crash from multiple angles. It's certainly a bit messy! :shock:

Luck of the draw in life G....

Rossi or Vinales lap is 25th of a second slower/faster.....they wouldn't be racing bikes anymore..

Zarco broke his wrist.....think he'll take that.

I was racing 250's at Brands Hatch many, many years ago. First lap, first corner, Paddock Hill Bend, I went in about 5th or 6th, lost the back end and high-sided. I ended up in the middle of the track facing back up the track watching the other riders ride around me. There were 31 riders in the field that day so around 25 riders went around me. None of the hit me.

Two weeks later another rider did the same thing on the same corner, not on the first lap though. Two other riders behind him and both of them him. Dead!

As you say, luck of the draw in life.
