So glad everyone is ok. The craziest thing I’ve seen in Moto2 for ages.
that is probably rain patch. i remeber i few years back. moto3 had multiple rider crashed because of oil or something
Lucky no rider was hit by the flying motorcycles
I did see someone limping, and holding their arm. I think someone is hurt. Clearly this should bea good reason to change any track layout..
safety in rider equipment and track design has come so far. really grateful everyone got to walk away from this. losing grip suddenly is horrifying enough in a car, cant even imagine what its like on a bike at this speed.
losing grip on a bike is like being ejected out of the window of a car, you just lose full control and hope you don't hit a stationary object.
Luckily it happens so fast you don't have time to worry about how scary it is.
I'm still hoping for an airbag suit in the future which ultimately makes it down to regular street riders.
Not that bad if you LOW SIDE...
bUT if you slide the back of the throttle.. the tyre regains grip and flings you over the top... usually abou 7 feet into the air and often through the handlebars....
nasty
For those wondering what caused the crash; it started raining and they're on slicks.
I love how the commentators have disciplined themselves through years of practice to say 'dearie me' rather than "Holy f!ck, look at that!!"
As a guy racing cars, I have the BIGGEST respect for bikers, anyone who has raced a circuit covered in oil (and suddenly noticing it) will know it's truly a heart in the mouth moment...
Edit: wow i never had this many likes before on YT before.. If feel like I need to state something important.. what would Homer Simson say ?
@@jackmorrison8269 It is what it is. MotoGP is a joke compared Isle of man.
MotoGP is the most beautiful sport on the planet, and when we witness the sportsmanship, intelligence and humanity displayed in the midst of a terrible accident, MotoGP just raised itself another notch up. Glad nobody was seriously injured.
Unexpected rain.
Thankfully the amazing Portimão circuit has great safety escapes in each turns and all riders were safe.
estoy de acuerdo con estar agradecido por que nadie se lastimo mal, excepto Canet, pero hay un tema con el pedregullo que es TERRIBLE, para las motos Y PARA LOS PILOTOS, preguntale a Jorge Martin.....
@@Gyodofer sem duvida. Gravilha muito grossa, tal como no circuito de Mandalika e Jerez
@@gorgon9786 - Im no expert but that looked like an oil patch to me - EXACT same spot for everyone
🙏Thankfully, no serious injuries! Feel so bad for the riders that couldn't restart! Rules unfair for an incident like this, for classes that run only 1 bike! Hope track officials can find a better way to let riders know sooner about wet corners!
Rain flags were already out before they entered the corner, there is no way to let them know any other way
The rules are fair.
That the situation sucks doesn't mean the rules are unfair.
That was scary. Thankfully it looks like everyone walked away okay. It's amazing how far safety gear and regulations have come on the drivers and on the track to mitigate the potential disaster of people and bikes flying at 100 mph into a corner. Still could have been terrible.
I am a car geek and I am also a motorcyclist, but I personally feel like many can agree when I say that Moto gp is easiliest the most dangerous Motorsport of all time. I cannot imagine the pain after flying off of a bike at 100+ mph. Everyone in this video is pretty lucky.
it as always amazed me the wat F1 goes on about safety and how fast the cars are. Do the F1 guys realise these bikes go nearly as fast and have no carbon reinforced etc cockpits. these are the guys who have no fear
@@garymurphy5133 as an f1 fan
Yeah these people have a death wish, you're right
@@garymurphy5133 tbf F1 can lap motogp in under 5 laps in a race track, that demands quicker reaction time and cornering/braking Gs stress to the drivers.
@@WarayF1 because it’s a car. Also quicker reaction time is debatable. With a bike you can not make the quick adjustments like you can in a car with a wheel. The riders need insane reaction speeds.
Synchronised Stacking!😱 How some of those riders escaped the flying debris is amazing!🙏🏻
Ever since my cousin passed in a bike crash I've developed such a fear that I can't realistically ride a bike anymore so I've been more on the formula racing side of motorsports. That being said though, motogp riders are absolutely insane for having the balls to corner at those speeds. Glad everyone walked out
Im sorry to hear that
MotoGP is considered tamed but for Isle Of Man showdown, heck NO
@@hybridAbsol MotoGP is not tame. It’s racing at the highest skill level possible. Isle of Man is nuts but they riders are obviously not as good (don’t get me wrong they are still great and absolutely nuts even more so than MotoGP riders). It’s an Event for adrenaline junkies.
It’s amazing seeing all the rider look after each other when they crash
Really glad there were no serious injuries, that’s the main thing. Super unfair to the riders who were not allowed to race. Can’t see the 5 minute rule being relevant here. Understandable if the bikes were not salvageable after the crash but those riders should’ve been given another fighting chance.
Isn’t it fair that those who didn’t crash get to continue, but those who crash don’t?
@@philsb9388 No but there is not much you can do. It's not like they can make a bike in 5 minutes.
@@philsb9388 You can normally remount if the bike is okay after you crash though?
I wouldn't call this 'Multiple' I call this half the field. Probably the craziest thing I’ve seen in Moto2
glad everyone is okay
@Damar Fadlan The big one with a definite article implies that it is expected to happen on a regular basis.
It's commonly used in NASCAR because of the frequency of such crashes.
Should include Fabio and Espagaro's reaction from the pres conference. All of them were so shocked. Zarco too.
1:48 that dancing dude was like : oh yeah im not the only one
Big respect to ALL the Marshall's
what about the medical teams that were able to be there in record time and assist 10 riders with 2 evacuations for the medical center without a single safety lane blocked?
@@ApexScorpio agreed.
It would be nice if the media gave recognition to Marshall's and medics, otherwise there wouldn't be any racing at all.
im my 30+ years watching motogp i never seen situation like this.. its mind-blowing
2:03 sees his own bike burn up still goes on to check on his mate who might have been hurt
Damn Cam was doing so good too
I don't follow Moto2 that much but I love how at 2:16 the rider tried to check with his other colleague
Wow!!! I'm pleased to read the riders were okay. That was close to being WAY OUTTA HAND.
👍🤞👍👍🏁
This is an incident that happened out of our sane mind, that was incredibly terrible. Glad that every driver is okay
Almost seems like the scariest thing isn't so much crashing by itself but if someone else crashes behind you their bike could come flying at you.
Man that was one of the worst multiple crashes I've seen in bike racing... horrible. hope everyone is safe.
That’s just crazy to see 3 high sides like that in a row with no contact between them. Was there a track issue there? Glad everyone is ok.
I watches this multiple times. The first 3 riders went down at almost the exact same time, meaning they all hit the throttle and the same patch of ground at the same time. Then every other rider that fell hit the same patch that made them lose and regain traction. I think the track was slightly too wet and they had the wrong tires on according to some other people that posted.
that was crazy, glad everyone is relatively okay!
😳 I’m glad everybody walked out of this safely!
That dude was jumping off his bike before it was even falling. Very impressive reaction time.
Boa Tarde Galera ! Infelizmente os acidentes são imprevisíveis . Nunca desistir ! Valeuzão Povão!
Who would even watch this...
People say F1 is dangerous,
THIS IS A DIFFERENT LEVEL!!!
Jesus that got my anxiety up for a minute there. Still remember watching the Shoya Tomizawa incident in Moto2 as it happened, thank god they were all all okay...
I don't mean to make light of this but the last dude saw the rest off the track path and was thinking " this looks fun" let me try 😄
Wow, the bike Gods we’re watching out for all the riders in that mess! That easily could have ended so much worse than it did.
Wow. Incredible to watch. Glad everyone is safe.
I've seen a lot of crashes in motorcycle racing,but that was one of the scariest yet.
2nd time this has happened, i believe the last one was a couple years ago in moto3, was never expecting it to happen again 😮
Imagine being in the paddock and gradually hearing each subsequent team yell in horror one after another.
I remember watching accidents like this on the “and they walked away” tapes my dad had. I always thought motorcycle racers were crazy and still do.
I saw the Motogp podium finishers reaction when this happened
Foi incrível 😱😱😱
WOW😳, that incident is very massive and I didn't expect that😬, the incident looks similar to French GP moto3 race in 2017 where there was a multiple crash incident like this, thank god everyone is ok and walk away unhurt 👍👍.
1:30 Whilst I'm happy they call walked away safely.
The second series of crashes looks like the most intense game of bowls
I hope race director becoming more wishes on future to decide dry or wet race. It's important for riders safety. Such small aquaplaning can be so dangerous.
@@zondor8123 it's not complaining. Evaluation required as safety is the 1st priority for the riders. May whether unpredictable, but some data and track condition can be as reference in the future. Gladly the riders are safe.
@@bremCZ yes they are. Hopefully the technology becoming more advance to minimize the issue happened.
amazing footage. so many crashes after one after another. must be something slick on that turn.
This race was like a bonus stage for Vietti.
All other rankers fell and luckily he survived because of not in best condition.
Whatever, this is the race
Seriously. After 13 bikes in the gravel, the marshall is still waving the yellow? WHERE IS THE RED? FFS.
That was just so unfortunate. People need to stop complaining because no rule in the world could've foreseen or prevented that crash. Even if they all had 2nd bikes setup for wet, most of the circuit was still too dry for wets and I bet if it was motogp they'd have stayed out on slicks as well. Changing the track layout? That could've happened anywhere on any circuit. Sh*t happens sometimes in racing. They were just all caught by surprise by the first sector being wetter than the last few laps they rode there.
I'm even gonna go as far as agreeing with the riders not being allowed to re-join. Yes it's unlucky and not their fault that they crashed, but what's also luck based is whose bike has less damage than the other, so allowing riders with fixed bikes to re-join doesn't at all solve the problem. It just adds more luck to the equation. Now that's something that having 2 bikes could fix, but as long as they have 1 bike I agree with the decision.
They should've red flagged the race once marshalls in that corner noticed the racing surface was fully wet. Rain flags are meant for when rain is falling. If this had happened in GP they can do flag to flag so it's up to the riders to decide when to come in and switch to rains. In Moto2 if the track is wet, it's up to race officials to stop the race so the teams can switch to wets. What should've happened is after the crash, the race should have reverted to the previous lap for the finishing order and half points should've been awarded.
@@thedoctorchocolate they can't finishing it, it just 9 laps. In the rule they should continue it after red flag.
Seeing this moment remind me of Le Mans in Moto3 2016.
That was scary AF, glad to know all riders were OK.
I have to assume that a riders reaction time has to be on par if you want to avoid the shitshow thats in front
as a f1 fan this must've been pretty rough for the MotoGP side of things
2:01 an inch to the right and that would be a *"Final Destination"* moment
Oh no, why can't it fall, keep the spirit of the MotoGP racers 🏁💪💪
Scary stuff ! Happy to see everyone is ok
Resembles a Moto3 crash due to oil spill back in 2017 or 18.
Glad everyone are ok.
Man..that could've been bad ..flying bikes coming from everywhere riders lying on the ground..thank God He protected them all 🙏
@@tinojokic2102 if a bike tumbling bike landed ontop of any of those riders a helmet wouldn't have helped much.
Honestly good to see everyone is safe
reminds me of THAT moto3 race a few years back. Crazy "twilight zone" stuff.
All praise to the invention of the "airbag" racing leathers, which as far as I can see saved at least half of the crashing riders from more serious injury. That's got to be a new point for street riding sooner rather than later. For those who are ATGATT types, anyway.
I've been selling the Alpinestars systems for years at the shop i work at. More and more riders are using the systems on and off the track. It's good to see.
I always ride with my Alpinestar airbag even at 90+ degrees. I love the airbag system and would highly recommend it.
@@ggggerryggg8170 in 2004 Alpinestars started developing a airbag system that fits inside of leathers. We call it the Tech Air Race system today. They have also developed 3 other systems designed for different riders needs. They are probably the peak of safety we have made and I don't see how they can get safer.
I hope all riders are safe..now..
Lowes injured his arm and canet broke his, other then that everyone’s safe
These guys are warriors risking their shit every time they step on the motorcycle. Respect!
I hope all rider's are well & fine.
este acidente demonstra que para o bem dos pilotos, a regra tem que ser modificada, quando sinalizada a bandeira de chuva, todos devem tirar a mão e recolher aos boxes para troca de pneus!!!!!
nao estava a chuver na altura. Alias, a pista ate ja estava bem seca naquela altura da corrida
@@ApexScorpio , eles estavam sinalizando com bandeira de chuva, é sobre isto que estou falando que deve ser mudado.
Sinalizou com bandeira de chuva, todo mundo tira a mão e vai para o box!!!!Poderia ter acontecido uma fatalidade!!!!
What the fuuuuuuuuuck? :O
That was crazy.
1:40 the riders who jump : not today i fall
One of the strangest crashes i have seen.
Do you need rara the rain guardian to be there? 😊
everyone is Ok
From the camera angle at 1:30, Sam Lowes was really lucky he didn't hit another bike while he was sliding, he was heading for Ogura's bike that was in the gravel and actually got bumped out of the path of it by Arenas' bike! Glad to see everyone relativey ok
Wild scene! Glad nobody was severely injured! :O
Maybe they should implement the hairpin at Turn 1, then the approaching speed is not that high anymore🤔
I wonder why they don't use it for F1 either
@Damar Fadlan Why though? For motorcycles it would be a horrible long braking zone, but for F1 it would be a nice challenge as the drivers have to brake on top of the hill and then downwards (same as MotoGP now with the faster layout)
MotoGP is the most dangerous championship out there.
Remember two teenagers dying in Indianapolis.
I guess that is why the riders are young....fearless.
As a Fan I never want to see this ... : ( I hope everyone is ok ... 🙏
Why didn't the Yellow Flag come out at that curve after the first set of riders went down or after the second set of riders went down? The Yellow Flag would of minimized the carnage. Also, that part of the track has a very large run off area for safety, so it makes seeing the flags early on difficult. I am glad that there were no serious injuries, but definitely some safety problems to look at.
I think it did, if you look closely at the martial behind the barrier, I'm pretty sure he's waiving a yellow. Which if true, makes the situation more confusing.
Wow
That was a great decision for the lead rider bail from his bike even though you have regarded some control. If he didn't bail, my guess is he would have hit that wall at a fatal speed!
I hope all these riders are safe and healthy.
Thank goodness no major casualties ... Respect guys.....
Es una vergüenza lo que ha pasado. No se podía seguir corriendo, habían algunas curvas imposibles. Un accidente claramente evitable que pudo acabar en tragèdia. Alguien debe asumir responsabilidades. Además que la decisión posterior de que solo salían X pilotos (que está en reglamento pero creo que hoy claramente un día para hacer una excepción o tomar nota para el futuro) ha beneficiado muchísimo a Vietti para el mundial.
Es vergonzoso. No había banderas para avisar de suelo deslizante, no se paró la carrera cuando empezó a llover, y luego lo de los 5 minutos es un descojone
@@KimiMTZ17 They waved the rain flags many times, riders thought it was fine to continue.
I think this is a very dangerous circuit and dangerous for all riders.
Awesome to watch glad no one serious injurys!
Impressive Marshalls…a total of only 13 seconds to ditch the stretcher, run to get a fire extinguisher, and run out to the bike and start putting out the flames. That’s professional.
Mengerikannnn!!😱
No flags anywhere, even after the bikes crashed
Absolutely disgusting
Damn straight. The marshalls there need to be educated on what their most important job is, waving the right flag at the right time!!
Not true, flags were waved correctly. Unexpected rain and slicks was the problem, and yes, it's racing and shit happens
thanks and great to see all
riders were safe in this race incident 🙏🙏🙏, To the good Lord please Always keep all our Riders safe in every race they compete 🙏
Wow that corner has a dip in it that causes the rear-end of the bike to go out from under the riders wow im just glad that they are 👍
Please upload Pecco and Rins overtakes🙂
2:03 OMG 😔
The good thing is you'll never get trapped inside a burning motorcycle.
Brutal.. Good thing no one was seriously hurt. There were a few close misses in the pileup there. Sheesh..
Prime example of how well these riders handle accidents, it's impressive to see their reaction times in the midst of all the chaos.
they have bullet time reflexes
Yes you see 5 bikes on the ground and you keep pushing, falling and sending your bike towards them, it was luck nobody got hit
@@paulmartom you clearly don't ride.. (que "IvE BeEn rIdINg mY h2R fOr 38 YeArS yOu tWaT")
It looks like half of their reactions were to crash. That's not that great.
Impressive how garbage was the reaction from race direction and stewards
