Huge high side during MotoGP practice for Sunday's race leaves Marquez with a sore neck. http://www.bikesportnews.com/news-detail.cfm?newstitle=MotoGP-Sachsenring:-Marquez-huge-crash---picture-special&newsid=12397
Bike Sport News said he was a good bouncer!
After receiving treatment for his neck he went back out on the track and improved his time putting him at second fastest for the day!
Apparently the cause was an unintentional gear change in mid turn. He gave this account "The crash was a little strange, but when we looked at the telemetry later on we understood why it happened. It's a long left turn in second gear on the throttle the whole time, and I accidentally touched the gear shift lever with the toe of my boot. This engaged another gear and as I was leant so far over - and had the gas open - the rear wheel slid out and I was thrown off.”
Glad he's ok. Hope he makes it 9 in a row on Sunday.
