Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) crashed at the second corner of the first round of the Spanish Grand Prix, fourth round of the MotoGP season, on Sunday in Jerez.
The 2021 world champion, who started in 16th position, the worst result of his career since his debut in the premier class in 2019, remained on the ground for a few minutes before getting up and leaving with a limp.
The race was interrupted by a red flag after this accident involving two other drivers.
The Niçois, who hit the world championship leader Marco Bezzecchi, then slipped and dragged down the Portuguese Miguel Oliveira (Aprilia-RNF), who fell heavily in the gravel and was taken to an ambulance.
Quartararo, who quickly returned to the Yamaha pit, will take the second start of the race.
The Habs, who had won their first podium of the season two weeks ago in Austin (United States), had a difficult start to the weekend in Andalusia, finishing only 16th in qualifying and 12th in the sprint.
