MotoGP legend Marc Marquez 'OK' after 'really big crash'
MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez called it "one of the biggest" crashes he'd ever had after being catapulted into the air during the warm-up to Sunday's rain-hit Indonesian Grand Prix. The Spaniard's Honda cartwheeled end-over-end as it disintegrated and he appeared to land heavily on his left arm and smack his helmet on the ground at about 180kph (112mph). The shaken 29-year-old somehow got to his feet and gingerly walked away before being taken to a nearby Lombok hospital for medical checks. He was ruled out of the race on the new Mandalika circuit and said in a statement released by his Repsol Honda Team: "What can I say? It has not been our weekend, we have struggled and had problems from the start. "It was a really big crash in warm-up this morning, maybe one of the biggest I have had. "I went to the local hospital and while there were no serious problems, it was decided that I should not race. It's of course a shame, but the best decision."
