Dani Pedrosa’s crash in the final seconds of yesterday’s qualifying session at Silverstone scared the bejesus not only out of his fans, but also out of Dorna who could have ended up minus another “alien” on a very anorexic grid.
Fortunately Pedrosa didn’t break anything, but he’ll be riding with two very badly bruised and sore knees and that won’t be comfortable when he tucks in.
Check out how the Spaniard loses the front of his RC212V over a bumpy section of the track and how the bike runs over his legs and then heads straight into the tire barriers and totals itself.
