Pol
Espargaro of Yamaha broke a bone his left foot in a heavy crash during a
practice session before the MotoGP season at the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang
on Saturday.
Espargaro's
accident came after a piece of glass punctured the radiator in his Tech 3
Yamaha. Another racer tried to warn Espargaro of a problem with his bike but he
continued and had a violent crash at Turn 1 and was thrown from his bike in the
process. Espargaro, whose bike caught fire as it came to rest, was ruled out of
practice four and qualifying due to his foot injury.
Newly
crowned world champion Marc Marquez of Spain clinched a record 13th pole in the
MotoGP season at the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang on Saturday. Marquez, who
sealed his title defence in Japan two weeks ago, also set a record time of one
minute 59.791 seconds at Sepang to finish nearly two-tenths of a second ahead
of Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa.
