Moto2 race red-flagged after big Turn 1 crash involving multiple riders
The Moto2 race in Indonesia began with a big crash that involved four riders. The session had to be red-flagged as well.
The Moto2 race in Indonesia was abruptly halted due to a significant crash involving four riders during the start of the race in Turn 1. Daniel Holgado, a future MotoGP rider, lost control of his bike and collided with his teammate David Alonso, causing Alonso to strike American Racing rider Joe Roberts. Additionally, a fuel tank that detached from Alonso's bike struck Collin Veijer's KTM.
Despite the severity of the incident, all four riders were reported to be unhurt and quickly back on their bikes. The race was red-flagged before three laps were completed, leading to the riders lining up on the original grid for a restart. Holgado's bike could not be repaired in time for the restart, but his team is working diligently to have it ready.
