These pictures show Pol Espargaro's fier꧑y accident in Saturday morning practice for the Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang.

The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider was launched from his bike at turn one after oil leaked onto his rear wheel, caused by a small piece 🉐of glass debris damaging an oil radiator.

Oth🌌er riders had tried to warn Espargaro, but 🃏the intermittent smoke meant he didn't spot the damage.

Espargaro broke the second metatarsal bone in his left foo𝄹t and was ruled out of qualifying, but intends to return for Sunday's race.

"The bike was letting a small💫 [amount of] oil on to the wheel but I didn't see it so I continued pushing - and it had the same power and everything - but at the end of 𝕴the straight but when I braked some oil was starting to come onto the wheel," Espargaro said.

"We'll haℱve to forget [the injury] because tomorrow we have a race. Changing gear will be really difficult with the pain, but we'll see tomorrow what happens."
