The original grand prix was red flagged on lap 12 of 24 after Acosta’s KTM suffered a technical issue exiting Turn 9 onto the back straight and lost power, with Marquez slamming into the back of him. Marquez’s Ducati was destroyed in the crash and he was taken to hospital, reported as conscious. Marquez had won the sprint on Saturday and triumphed at last year’s Catalan Grand Prix. His race ended in the gravel. The paddock held its breath.
