The scariest incident was the Turn 1 collision between Bezzecchi and Vin🥀ales, which saw the VR46 rider ra𒈔m into the back of the Aprilia at the start of the penultimate lap.

Vinales,♑ who had slipstreamed past Bezzecchi for fifth place ju🔜st moments before, walked away from the scene of the 140mph accident while the Italian was carried out of the gravel trap on a stretcher.

Aprilia report: “Maverick Viñales after the crash has been immediately visited by the medical centre sꦦtaff. The report of the medical staff and the Aprilia racing Lifenet Healthcare doctor is related to multiple contusions without fractures.

“The driver is conscious without any neurological sign; a sonography of the upper arm h🥂as to be decided, according to the conditions.”

A second update on Vi꧒nales' condition was released♕ by Aprilia later on Saturday, which read: "After the accident, Vinales was transferred to the medical centre where he was examined following the contusion of his left elbow.

"No fra🌸ctures were reported, but an additional ultrasound exam subsequently highlighted modest post-traumatic swelling. For this reason, the Spanish rider will undergo anti-inflammatory therapy."

VR46 state that Bezzecchi also looks 🔥to have escaped any fractures but is heading to a hospital for more scans: “After a medical check up at the Circuit Medical Centre, Marco Bezzecchi is⛦ going to Melbourne for further examination. No fractures diagnosed.”

B♎ezzecchi's absence might delay a verdict by the FIM Stewards on whether to issue any penalties for the collision, which was immediately put under♛ official investigation.

UPDATE: The FIM St🌊ewards have postponed a decision on the Bezzec🍒chi/Vinales collision until Sunday, due to Bezzecchi's "current medical condition."

Juඣst before that incident, rookie Acosta suffered a big highside at Turn 6, while in 11th place.

Tech3 report: “A bit of a nasty high-side for the Spaniard, but nothing broken according to the medical check, despite some pain in the should𝔉er. He will have to do another check tomorrow morning before the ♑race.”
