Quartararo escapes injury in Indonesia MotoGP practice crash

The comparison to Marquez's high-side is the telling detail here — Indonesia's circuit is proving genuinely punishing, not just difficult. Quartararo walking away from a crash serious enough to draw that parallel underlines how fine the margin was, and it raises a legitimate question about how riders manage risk across a full race weekend on a track that clearly has teeth. For a Yamaha rider still fighting for relevance in the competitive order, losing practice time to injury would have been a compounding problem beyond the physical. The fact that he's flagging luck rather than skill as the reason he's unscathed is an unusually candid admission.
