The scariest incꦏident was the Turn 1 collision between Bezzecchi and Vinales, which saw the VR46 rider ram into the back of the Aprilia at the start of the penultimate lap.

Vinales, who had sl🦂ipstreamed past Bezzecchi for fifth place just moments before, walked away from the scene ♍of the 140mph accident while the Italian was carried out of the gravel trap on a stretcher.

Aprilia report: “Maverick Viñales after the crash has been immediately vis🍌ited by the medical centre staff. The report of the medical staff and the Aprilia racing Lifenet Healthcare doctor ♊is related to multiple contusions without fractures.

“The ཧdriver is conscious without any neurological sign; a sonography of the upper arm has to be decided, according ꦺto the conditions.”

A second update on Vinales' condition was released by Aprilia later on Saturday, which read: "After the accident, Viꦿnales was transferred to the medical centre where he was examined following the contusion of his left elbow.

"No fractures were reported, but an additional ultrasound exam subsequently highlighted modest post-traumatic swelling. For this reason,🍬 the Spanish rider will undergo anti-inflammatory therapy."

VR46 state that Bezzecchi also looks to have escaped any fractures but is heading to a hospital for more scans: “After a medical check up at the Circuit Medical Centre, Marco Bezzecchi is going to Melbourne for further examination🀅. No fractures diagnosed.”

Bezzecchi's absence might delay a verdict by the FIM Stewards on whether to issue any penalties for the collision, which was iไmmediately put under official investigation.

UPDATE: The FIM Stewards have postponed a decision on the Bezzecchi🌸/Vinales collision until Sunday, due to Bezzecchi's "current medical condition."

Just before that incident, rookie Acosta suffered a big highside at Turn 6, wh🍌ile in 11th place.

Tech3 report: “A bit of a nasty high-side for the Spaniard, but nothing broken according to the medic🍨al check, despite some pain in the shoulder. He will have to♚ do another check tomorrow morning before the race.”
