Sachsenring 2015: Pol Espargaro’s Flying Yamaha
Please click on the above image to view it larger.
Pol Espargaro was another victim of Sachsenring’s infamous Turn 11 in FP1. He crashed and slid into the gravel, hopping up quickly and returning to his box for his second bike. He completed the session, but his first Yamaha did not.
It tumbled several times, at one point bouncing high into the air as shown.
By the time the marshals removed it from the gravel it was less than whole. While still an engine, frame and two wheels, many of the other parts were lying in the stones.
