Fabio Quartararo was involved in a collision with Miguel Oliveira in the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix. The Portuguese suffered a dislocated shoulder and did not take part in the re-start of the race, but the Yamaha rider took part. But already during the race, many were questioning whether the medical staff had done the right thing by allowing the Frenchman to start after he was unconscious for a few moments in the staging area.
MotoGP announced on social media that all the riders involved were conscious, but footage of the accident from the stands, which circulated after the race, clearly shows that Quartararo was unconscious for a few moments in the exit zone.
In principle, the rules do not allow racers to compete in a race for at least two weeks after a blow to the head occurs, because often the effects of a concussion, such as blurred vision or dizziness, do not become apparent until later. The fact that Quartararo was allowed to enter the race just a few minutes after he lost consciousness is worrying, as the author of the video pointed out.
