A number of Moto2 riders were forced to flee for safety at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve track, after a horror crash saw a bike explode into flames. The crash came with 15 laps remaining of the Portuguese GP, as a large chunk of the field approached turn two.
Wet conditions had made driving on the track difficult with the rainfall leading to a lack of grip for the riders. This then led to eight of the field simultaneously spinning off the circuit, with a number of them crashing into the trackside wall.
One man involved in the chaos was Zonta Van Den Goorbergh, whose bike went on to blow up in flames following the crash.
