Moto3's Grand Prix started later than scheduled due to an incident during the sighting lap involving Noah Dettwiler and Jose Antonio Rueda.
The incident led to a delay until the medical helicopter returned. Rueda was taken to hospital with contusions and a suspected hand fracture, but was confirmed alert and awake.
CIP Green Power stated: "Our rider Noah Dettwiler was involved in a serious accident... He will need to undergo multiple surgeries. We kindly ask you to respect his privacy."
Dettwiler's team requested privacy, and no further details were shared.
