The current world champion in motocross, Tim Gajser, fell badly in Latvia, but fortunately the first inspection did not show any fractures or serious injuries, but for now, Gajser's performance in the next race in two weeks is in question. https://youtube.com/watch?v=fGirpEjYXZU&feature=youtu.be
Two-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez set the fastest time of the second practice in Brno. Andrea Iannone and Jorge Lorenzo came closest to the Honda racer. The Spaniard masterfully saved himself from a fall in the thirteenth turn in the early minutes of training when his front tire was taken away. With his knee, he managed to pick up the engine and drive on. At the end of training, he was a tenth faster than Iannone, the fastest racer of the first practice, and Lorenzo was another 0.033 seconds slower than racer Ducati. Valentino Rossi reigned at the top of the time table for a long time, finishing training in fifth place, 0.334 seconds behind Marquez. Hector Barbera swung back to fourth place between him and teammate Lorenzo. Sixth was Andrea Dovizioso, ahead of Aleix
The SAG team, for which Luis Salom, who died on Friday, raced, explained the cause of the fatal fall in the twelfth turn after analyzing the telemetry of the Spanish motorcycle. Luis was supposed to make a minor mistake in the tenth turn, which caused him to come to the eleventh turn at a speed of 6km / h lower than in the previous laps. To get to the twelfth turn at optimum speed, he braked much later. In doing so, however, he had the misfortune of driving over a bump in the asphalt on the brakes before the twelfth turn at a higher speed than in the previous laps, where he was still braking. This overloaded the front tire and caused a slip, and consequently a fall, which, however, had tragic consequences.

This is what the fall looked like, which did not take away Tim Gajser's advantage in the overall standings in yesterday's second race for MXGP in Germany. Tim proved once again that he is an excellent racer and that even a fall does not get him off track.

The second day of winter testing was surprisingly won by Danilo Petrucci with Ducati, and the test day was certainly marked by the seemingly serious accident of Loris Baz, who had a Michelin tire blown up at 290km / h.

Despite a nasty fall at the race in Aragon, Valentino Rossi was not seriously injured, but will remain in the hospital under observation as he suffered a concussion. Rossi lost control of the engine at the entrance to the seventh turn and fell ugly from it onto the asphalt excursion zone, then stopped in the sand. Rossi was immediately taken to a medical center. "Valentino suffered a concussion and lost consciousness in the process," the clinic said. "We also did a head scan and found that he did not suffer any serious injuries, such as bleeding in the brain. Nevertheless, he will remain under observation for the next few hours, but there is no cause for concern."
Bad weather in Alcaniz, heralded an interesting racing Sunday. After the Moto 2 class race, won by Maverick Vinales, the sun appeared over the track. Thus, the racers in the most elite class started the race with dry track tires. Both Honda racers, who were also big favorites in the race, and the positive surprise of Ducati Andrea Iannone ran out of the front row. After a few introductory turns, Ianone even took the lead, where he didn't stay long. Anyway, his chances for a great ranking blew up in the second round, where he drove on a wet curb, but then he failed to tame his Ducati and completely shattered it. Just a lap later, a similar thing happened to the winner of the previous race, Valentin Rossi. He also appeared to have suffered an arm injury. D
