For the second time in as many seasons, the first corner of the Catalunya MotoGP round saw a multi-rider pile-up.
Having been taken out by early accidents on several occasions this season, Miguel Oliveira quipped that it was “strange - something happened and I'm not involved!”
“We also need to start with low pressure, the tyre is not ready, so if you try to overtake too many people on the brakes in the first couple of corners you are going to eventually end up having an incident like this.”“Because there is always one who [pushes] a bit too much [at turn 1],” he said. “Last year was Nakagami, and this year was Bastianini. It can happen, the first corner is a bit tight, but not so tight as in Spielberg.
“If you gain three or six positions, it changes your race, but it can change also in this [opposite] way, then it becomes like a disaster.”
