Spanish 17-year-old Izan Guevara won a crash-marred Moto 3 event at the Grand Prix of the Americas on Sunday after a double red-flagged race at a circuit already branded “dangerous” earlier in the weekend.
A first red flag was waved after seven laps of the scheduled 17 following a crash by Filip Salac on a KTM.
Conscious, the Czech rider was taken to the medical centre for examination.
The race restarted before being stopped a second time after two more laps following a huge multi-rider accident which included Spaniards Jeremy Alcoba (Honda) and championship leader Pedro Acosta (KTM) as well as Andrea Migno of Italy (Honda).
