An update has been given by Francesco Guidotti on the state of Jack Miller and Brad Binder after their lap one crash in Sepang.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager, Francesco Guidotti, has provided an update on his riders after a scary first lap crash.
On the opening lap of the Malaysian Grand Prix Brad Binder, Jack Miller and Fabio Quartararo were all involved in a a crash at Turn Two. After the three riders collided a red flag was shown and the race had to be restarted.
However, neither Binder nor Miller were able to make the restarted Malaysian Grand Prix.
During the crash, Binder had to sit up and make contact with Quartararo. This forced the Frenchman into contact with Miller, whose head hit the rear tyre of Quartararo's Yamaha.
After the crash, Miller needed trackside medical assistance before being taken to the medical centre. During the restarted Malaysian Grand Prix Miller was seen walking through the paddock with no serious injuries being reported.
“Luckily no one injured,” Guidotti said. “Everything is fine. Jack went to the medical centre for a check, but he was fine. No pain anywhere. Was very bad to see, but luckily no injuries.
"Brad tried to start for the second start, but the pain in the left shoulder didn’t allow him to go. It wasn’t safe for himself and the others. He will go maybe tomorrow to check the shoulder, if the pain is there still.
“From the image we have, it’s not really clear. Looks like Brad was very, very inside and he touched someone in front. And then he had to pick up the bike and hit Fabio. Fabio hit Jack. Was like a domino. I think it’s a race incident, nothing to be penalised.
“We have to be happy that both of them are fine and look to the last race.”
