Álex Márquez suffered a brutal crash at the Catalan MotoGP Grand Prix, being thrown from his bike and hitting a wall. After several long minutes of uncertainty, it was confirmed that he was conscious and out of danger and was taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery for a broken collarbone.
The accident happened in Lap 10, when Pedro Acosta, who was leading the race, suffered a technical problem on the rear wheel of his bike. Álex tried to avoid a collision with Acosta and ran outside the track, where he lost control of the bike, hitting the wall while the bike flew in the air and was completely destroyed, sending debris to other drivers like Fabio Di Giannantonio, who also fell to the ground, although didn't suffer a hit as hard as the young of the Márquez brothers.
