A crash for Pol Espargaro in Portuguese GP P2 not only brought out red flags, but also highlighted deeper issues with the Portimao track and with MotoGP.

It is also a consequence of a red flag early in Practice 2 for a power cut which severed the TV images in Race Control, meaning Race Direction had no view of the track, and had no choice but to red flag the session.

Because it was a bad crash, but [...] when Pol arrived on the gravel, he started to accelerate.” By the time Oliveira and Espargaro were heading out for their time attack runs at the end of the P2 session (no longer “FP2” for reasons), the time of day had surpassed 16:00. It is not certain why Espargaro crashed, because his necessary transfer to the hospital very much de-necessitated him talking to the media at the end of the day.
