LCR Honda rider Takaaki Nakagami crashed at Turn 1 in Sunday’s race at the start trying to recover ground from 12th on the grid, wiping out Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia with his head and taking Suzuki’s Alex Rins down with his errant RC213V.
Rins – who slammed the stewards for dismissing the accident as a racing incident – has a fractured left wrist, while Nakagami will stay in hospital overnight for checks, but has currently escaped serious injury.
