This is the controversial moment when Valentino Ros𝄹si crashed and took out 🌠2011 MotoGP World Championship leader Casey Stoner during Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez (see below for full sequence).

The incident occurred when Rossi ജtried to overtake Stoner for second place at turn one on lap 8 of the wet race.

The I𝓰talian, who had qualified just twelfth for Ducati, came from a long way back in the braking area, but looked like he mi🔯ght just make it work - until his front-wheel folded at the apex.

Stoner was on the outside of the Italian with nowhere to go and Rossi's fallen bike wiped out the Australian's front w𒆙heel, sending them both sl༺iding off.

Rossi ♔rejoined to finish fifth in a 🍒race that saw eight riders crash, while Stoner was forced to retire.

Rossi later apologised to Stoner, who won from pole a🅷t round one in Qatar.

Stoner, although♔ smiling and accepting Rossi's handshake, said "Your ambition outweighs your talent" during the brief exchange, in which he also asked about Ro🗹ssi's shoulder.
