It's the fear of this Sunday. A violent collision between Loris Baz and Pol Espargaró during the first lap of the British Grand Prix. A racing incident that required a red flag to be brought out. Fortunately both pilots were unhurt.
Unharmed but still shaken. And we would be less so after such a shock. The Frenchman explains: “ when I showed up at turn 2 I was next to Pol and I was overtaking him. But the guys in front braked very early, especially Petrucci. To avoid it, I had to move slightly away and that's when Pol and I touched each other ».
« Afterwards, I don't remember anything anymore. I just woke up in the ambulance. The consequences could have been much worse and I immediately felt bad about my recently operated foot. It hurts a lot but the x-ray revealed no fracture. What's most important is that Pol doesn't have any serious injuries either. It's a racing incident as it sometimes happens. I didn't do anything inconsiderate ».
The screws and plates that are still in Loris' foot have not moved. He suffered a sprain and a burn on his thigh. He will go for a CT scan at the Geneva hospital on Monday to check that there are no lesions. In a week, it's already Misano!
