P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Celestino Vietti’s scary accident at the end of the 280km/h Phillip Island main straight was a major factor in halting the Australian Moto2 Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
In the wet and windy conditions, eight riders had fallen before Vietti, but his accident was caused by a strong gust of wind that blew him off track during lap 9. As he approached Turn 1, instead of leaning into it, Vietti was pushed over the outside kerbing and tumbled heavily after being launched into the air. Despite suffering a fracture in a previous accident, Vietti luckily did not sustain any further injuries this time. However, Vietti expressed surprise that the race was allowed to start in such extreme conditions and apologized for not being able to prevent his crash. Unfortunately, due to worsening conditions, the Moto2 race restart and the subsequent MotoGP Sprint were both canceled.
