Marquez explains miracle save

When Marc Marquez tweeted a picture from the Brno MotoGP test, showing the Spaniard with his entire arm on the racetrack and asking 'save or crashও', many would have tho⛎ught the latter.

The reigning MotoG𝕴P champion later tweeted furth🙈er pictures showing him somehow rising back onto two wheels:

On Thursday at Silverstone the Repsol Honda star spoke about the save.

"I was really, really lucky because I lost the front, but really smoothly," he said. "I was able to save with my elbow, but it was very long🌌 and I was able to think during the slide how I can manage.

"Then when I was on the floor I say 'ok, now full gas'. I opened full gas and when I opened my eyes again I was on my bi♐ke! Ok, thank you very much!"

Marquez had lost his first race of the season 𓃲at Brno the previous day but still holds a huge 77-point lead heading into the British MotoGP.
