Whether it was caused by another driver or whether it remains the sole responsibility of the latter, the accident in a Grand Prix is inevitably classified among falls and, at this midpoint of the 2022 season, there had 609 in 11 completed meetings. 186 concern MotoGP while it is in Portugal where it was visibly the most difficult to stay on your wheels with 106 figures imposed by the law of gravity in the three categories. Portimao is followed in this ranking by Le Mans with a score of 87. But since we're talking about hierarchy, who found themselves on the ground most often after 11 MotoGP games?
It is a ranking of which we do not boast of being the leader since it lists the number of falls. In this mid-2022 campaign, it is led by the rookie Marco Bezzecchi who counts 15 with a Ducati who achieves the double since the Italian is ahead of his compatriot with three victories, Enea Bastianini of an accident.
The sequel confirms the ordeal of being a pilot Honda with Alex Marquez scoring 12, but with George Martin who is at 11, we see that piloting a Ducati is not that simple. However, the two Repsol pilots Marc Marquez et Pol Espargaro, with their 10 falls, but with fewer Grands Prix for the first mentioned, insist on the salary of fear paid by the RC213V.
We then find Johann zarco who fell nine times, as many as Joan mir et Darryn binder. Pecco Bagnaia is at 8 but with the pitfall of collecting them during the race, which inevitably impacts his situation in the championship. The second in the championship, Aleix Espargaró, lost control of his Aprilia on seven occasions, one less than Brad Binder courageous on his KTM, but as much as Jack Miller.
Falls classification: special mentions for Maverick Viñales and Marc Marquez
Despite only five Grand Prix contested, Stefan Bradl regrets six falls, as Fabio Di Giannantonio, Remy gardner, Franco Morbidelli et Nakagami who haven't missed anything since the start of the season. Alex Rins closed its balance sheet at 5 with fewer races however. The championship leader Fabio Quartararo is four, two of which took place in Assen in a quarter of an hour during the Dutch Grand Prix…
But the good student of this agitated peloton is Maverick Vinales who has not damaged his RS-GP once by scraping the asphalt and digging the gravel trap. In fact, the official Aprilia doesn't have a single fall to blame. As for the prize for the most impressive accident in MotoGP, it undoubtedly comes down to Marc Marquez in the warm-up of the Indonesian Grand Prix…
