The Malaysian Moto2 Grand Prix has be🐭en red flagged on the opening lap after a massive multi-rider incident on the back straight.

Axel Pons fell - possibly after contact - as he accelera꧑ted onto the straight. Following riders swerved to avoid the Spaniard's Kalex before it was hit head-on by a rider at the back of the field.

Several further competitors were subsequently broug𝄹ht down in the mayhem.

In total Za♑qhwan Zaidi, Ezequiel Iturrioz, Decha Kraisart, Fadli Immammudღdin and Pons were involved.

Pons walked away - with the arm of his leathers missing - and, miraculously, all the riders involved have been "deemed oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚk".

Pons' team-mate Esteve💧 Rabat had been leading the race, while title leader Scott Redding put in a storming start to carve his way up the order from tenth to fourth.

The restart will be over twelve laps.
