It was a terrifying incident that, thankfully, everyone was able to walk away from. After contact with Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Tech3) on COTA’s 1.2km back straight in the restarted Moto3™ Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas race, Jeremy Alcoba (Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3) crashed. But it’s true that it was the mistake or movement of one rider that created all these things. For me, you need to think well about the strategy you need to have in Moto3, but you can’t make that. “Öncü moved in the straight when he knows he has another rider alongside and cuts across. I think that the penalty is not only for the manoeuvre that he did.
