Johann Zarco has posted the following video message following Sunday’s shocking accident with Franco Morbidelli at the Austrian MotoGP.Check out the MotoGP YouTube channel – CLICK HEREThe Frenchman had just overtaken Morbidelli for eighth place when the pair tangled on the exit of the ultra-fast left-hand kink leading to Turn 3.The contact, Morbidelli’s front wheel appearing to clip Zarco’s rear wheel, caused both riders to fall heavily, with their bikes then spearing straight on towards the riders ahead of them at Turn 3.While Zarco’s Ducati hit a tyre wall before flying across the track, Morbidelli’s machine cartwheeled through the narrow space between fellow Yamaha riders Maverick Vinales and Valentino Rossi. The race was immediately stopped.” I’m okay. I’ve got some burns here [on my arm], and my hips and leg. We had a really big scare,” Zarco said in the Instagram message below.”I have seen Morbidelli also and we were both sorry about what’s happened. It was a racing incident that is sometimes difficult to avoid at this speed. Also, our bikes didn’t touch anyone, so very lucky today.”All is fine, just need to analyse everything well and work for next week. I will be fit to race. Thank you for all your support.”    View this post on Instagram         I prefer speak straight than write.
