MotoGP king Marquez suffers TERRIFYING crash on SAME TRACK which almost caused career-ending injury last season (VIDEO)
MotoGP icon Marc Marquez was taken to hospital after a dramatic crash during practice at the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday – at the same track he suffered a horror smash last year.
The six-time MotoGP king lost control on Turn 7 at Jerez as the Spaniard and his Honda RC213V went crashing into the air barriers during the Free Practice 3 (FP3) session.
Fans immediately feared for Marquez after his bike flipped violently off the gravel and narrowly missed slamming into him.
After remaining doubled over on his knees for several moments, the Spaniard got up and walked away from the wreck.
Thankfully for Marquez, he suffered no injuries apart from a cervical contusion, although the 28-year-old star was still sent to hospital for further checks.
“To double check his condition after the Turn 7 fall, Marc Marquez is heading to hospital for further checks,” read a statement from his Honda team.
“These are precautionary and Marquez is not experiencing any pain or discomfort.”
