MotoGP | Pol Espargaró accident, gravel under accusation: Guido Meda's point [VIDEO]

GP Portimao MotoGP 2023 – Ghiaia under accusation at the end of the first day of free practice valid for the Portuguese Grand Prix, the inaugural event of the 2023 MotoGP world championship.

Speaking on Sky Sport 24 in the late afternoon, Guido Meda analyzed Pol Espargarò's terrible accident during FP3, highlighting how the size of the pebbles placed on the outside of the big bend - already under the magnifying glass after the tests - presumably did not allow the Spaniard to "attenuate" his speed of fall, thus creating physical consequences that were not very serious, but at the same time not light.

The Spaniard, we remember, at the end of FP2 had a bad fall coming out of the bend, ending up violently on the ground several times at high speed. A truly harsh impact that forced the Race Direction not only to red flag, but also to bring the Medical Car onto the scene (the doctors were with the Spaniard for more than a few minutes, with the latter stopped on the ground).

Bad images but fortunately they have remained so, given that the Iberian has not suffered serious physical consequences but only some serious ailments (he is currently moving all his limbs, despite the stresses suffered by his spine, and is in hospital for all the medical checks of the case).

At the moment, the Spaniard's presence on the track during the weekend seems unlikely. See you tomorrow for the second day of activities on the Portimao track.
