VIDEO: Dangerous impact! Watch the accident between Miller and Alex Márquez in the Australian GP

The MotoGP royal cubature had its eighteenth race of the season on Sunday, namely the Australian Grand Prix. It was dominated by Alex Rins on Suzuki, with Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia rounding out the podium. However, the race was not without crashes and a very dangerous crash between Jack Miller and Alex Márquez.

Four – that’s the number of riders who didn’t see the finish of the MotoGP Australian Grand Prix. Alex Márquez and Jack Miller were the first to crash out of the race when the former failed to control his bike and crashed hard into a Ducati rider.

You can see the whole incident for yourself in the attached video below. It should be added, Alex Márquez immediately apologised to his rival and made sure he was okay after such a crash, as it was clearly his racing mistake.

Two laps later, reigning champion Fabio Quartararo also dropped out of the race and has been pulling the short end of the rope in the recent title battle with Italian Bagnaia.

The French Yamaha rider won his last race at the Sachsenring in Germany and finished on the podium at Spielberg, but has failed to finish twice in the last four races, finishing seventeenth in Thailand and eighth in Japan.

This makes his title fight much more difficult. The Australian Grand Prix was finally dominated by Rins after a breathtaking finish, who held on to his first place ahead of Marc Márquez and Bagnaia.

The latter moved into the lead of the drivers’ championship and now has a 14-point lead over Quartara with two races to go.

Quartara’s teammate Franco Morbidelli also dropped out of the race with six laps to go. You can then see the full Australian Grand Prix standings below.
