Struck down in the first Grand Prix which took place on home soil in Portugal and hit in the leg, the five-time MotoGP winner had to skip Argentina before recording a top 5 in Austin. This Sunday in Jerez, as part of the Spanish Grand Prix, he was swept away by Fabio Quartararo's Yamaha only to find himself catapulted against the inflatable protections. Unfortunately, unlike the Frenchman, he was unable to resume the competition stopped at the red flag and here is why.
