00:00The riders hit the wet patch and one by one, first, second and third were ejected from the race.
00:06And as each rider slammed into the dirt, the nightmare on the track was only just beginning.
00:12The riders had known there was a bit of rain on the track. There'd been a light sprinkle early on
00:16in the race and the rain flag was out to remind them to be aware of the conditions. But when
00:20a
00:21sudden heavy microburst showered down on one particular area of the track during lap nine
00:26of the race, and with all the riders still on slick tires designed for dry conditions,
00:31it transformed turn two into an ice rink. And as each rider lost control and were tossed into the
00:37gravel trap at over 100 miles per hour, their heavy bikes became a relentless barrage of missiles
00:43launching into the pack. By the time the race stopped, 11 riders had been wiped out of the
00:49Moto2 Grand Prix. In the chaos, Aaron Ginnett fractured his left radius and finger, but remarkably,
00:55everyone else walked away from the insane incident with relatively minor injuries.
