So glad everyone is ok. The craziest thing I’ve seen in Moto2 for ages.

Lucky no rider was hit by the flying motorcycles

Prime example of how well these riders handle accidents, it's impressive to see their reaction times in the midst of all the chaos.

safety in rider equipment and track design has come so far. really grateful everyone got to walk away from this. losing grip suddenly is horrifying enough in a car, cant even imagine what its like on a bike at this speed.

For those wondering what caused the crash; it started raining and they're on slicks.

Unexpected rain.
Thankfully the amazing Portimão circuit has great safety escapes in each turns and all riders were safe.

MotoGP is the most beautiful sport on the planet, and when we witness the sportsmanship, intelligence and humanity displayed in the midst of a terrible accident, MotoGP just raised itself another notch up. Glad nobody was seriously injured.

I love how the commentators have disciplined themselves through years of practice to say 'dearie me' rather than "Holy f!ck, look at that!!"

As a guy racing cars, I have the BIGGEST respect for bikers, anyone who has raced a circuit covered in oil (and suddenly noticing it) will know it's truly a heart in the mouth moment...

Edit: wow i never had this many likes before on YT before.. If feel like I need to state something important.. what would Homer Simson say ?

🙏Thankfully, no serious injuries! Feel so bad for the riders that couldn't restart! Rules unfair for an incident like this, for classes that run only 1 bike! Hope track officials can find a better way to let riders know sooner about wet corners!

That was scary. Thankfully it looks like everyone walked away okay. It's amazing how far safety gear and regulations have come on the drivers and on the track to mitigate the potential disaster of people and bikes flying at 100 mph into a corner. Still could have been terrible.

I am a car geek and I am also a motorcyclist, but I personally feel like many can agree when I say that Moto gp is easiliest the most dangerous Motorsport of all time. I cannot imagine the pain after flying off of a bike at 100+ mph. Everyone in this video is pretty lucky.

[chiangho]

2:12 you can see Sam lowes was in huge pain on his right arm

[nadineolivier]

Really glad there were no serious injuries, that’s the main thing. Super unfair to the riders who were not allowed to race. Can’t see the 5 minute rule being relevant here. Understandable if the bikes were not salvageable after the crash but those riders should’ve been given another fighting chance.

Synchronised Stacking!😱 How some of those riders escaped the flying debris is amazing!🙏🏻

[tracezattau]

It’s amazing seeing all the rider look after each other when they crash

[AlolaGirly]

I wouldn't call this 'Multiple' I call this half the field. Probably the craziest thing I’ve seen in Moto2
glad everyone is okay

[sheebs]

Ever since my cousin passed in a bike crash I've developed such a fear that I can't realistically ride a bike anymore so I've been more on the formula racing side of motorsports. That being said though, motogp riders are absolutely insane for having the balls to corner at those speeds. Glad everyone walked out

[fdr]

Should include Fabio and Espagaro's reaction from the pres conference. All of them were so shocked. Zarco too.

[jeffcanyafixiy]

Wow!!! I'm pleased to read the riders were okay. That was close to being WAY OUTTA HAND.
👍🤞👍👍🏁
