The first round of the 2023 MotoGP season has been an eventful one thus far, starting with Pol Espargaro’s horrendous accident on Friday in FP2 that left him with fractures to his jaw and back.
This raised numerous safety concerns from riders about the Algarve International Circuit, centring on the lack of an air fence at Turn 10 where he crashed (which has since been rectified) and the long-standing calls for the gravel traps to be changed.
