Joan Mir said the Turn 7 gravel trap “probably” caused Marc Marquez’s injury and admitted he was also “worried for Bezzecchi” after their high-speed Indonesian MotoGP crash.
Former team-mate Joan Mir suggested that Marc Marquez’s shoulder injury during the Indonesian MotoGP might have been caused by a step at Turn 7’s gravel trap during the opening lap of the race.
Marquez, hit from behind by Marco Bezzecchi, slid at high speed and collided with the step, leading to damage in his right shoulder and collarbone area.
Joan Mir expressed concern not only for Marquez but also for Bezzecchi, who also hit the dangerous step after Marquez’s crash.
Mir emphasized the danger posed by such steps in the gravel traps, calling for a safer alternative like asphalt.
While Bezzecchi escaped major injury and apologized for the incident, Marquez suffered a fracture and is heading to Madrid for further medical evaluation and treatment decisions.
Alex Marquez, Marc’s brother, raised similar concerns about the gravel trap’s safety and the risks involved over the course of a long racing season.
