Jonathan Rea has spoken about the crash in WorldSBK FP2 for Toprak Razgatꦿ﷽lioglu at this weekend’s French World Superbike.

Although Rea had concerns about the crash itself, he also haꦡd a problem with the TဣV direction.

“I don’t 𒅌know why TV decided to show it again,” Rea said, as reported by GPOne, on Friday in Magny-Cours, “becꦺause it was horrible.”

The wall its꧃elf was a more fundamental concern for the six-times chꦦampion, though.

“We discussed a lot about that spot, every year,” he said. “But there has to be♔ a wall, because otherwise bi♔kes can go through the barrier [and rejoin the track] and hit someone.

“However, Toprak [🍌Razgatlioglu]🅰 hit the wall, and if the angle had been different the consequences would have been disastrous.

“I had my helmet on, looked up, saw the TV scr♒een and screamed. It was horrible.”

Rea also felt Razgatlioglu got lucky with the way h🌳e hit the wall.

“He was lucky, because he hit the wall with his side an🔴d not with h♐is head,” Rea said. “My mechanics had to calm me down a bit, telling me not to worry because he was fine and walking.

“I don’t understand why they have t🌠o show something like that﷽ in the middle of the session when we have to go back on track. It’s pretty stupid on the part of the TV director.”

Rea said that the situation found in Magny-Cours is noꦉt uniq🐠ue to the French venue.

“There is this situation on many tracks,” he said. “We are World Superbike, and now also the MotoGP bikes go really fast ꧟but the circuits don’t get bigger.”

It’s also an issue of speed, Rea explained.

“If you look at lap records,💫 everyone wants to go fa🌊ster,” he said. “Pirelli wants to make the tyres faster, and Dorna wants the teams to have superconcessions. Everything is being moved forwards, but the barriers are not being moved further back.”

Finally, Rea said that a solution to the situation would be an air fence. ꦇ“I’m sure they wi𒈔ll get some from a warehouse,” he said.

In fact, no air fence was added to the wall 🎐that Razgatlioglu hit, only some padding.

On Saturday, Rea’s Race 1 was over before the first lap was complete, as he crashed out at the final corner. Initial assessments show he has fractured his r🦹ight thumb, and he will undergo further assessments at Moulins Hospital, whᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚere Razgatlioglu was taken after his FP2 crash.
