Pol Espargaro describes riding through Quartararo's Aragon engine blow-up

Engine failures in MotoGP produce oil and debris across the racing line in an instant, and Espargaro's account puts a human face on a hazard that TV cameras rarely capture fully. His word choice — disappearing into the smoke — underlines how little warning a following rider gets and how much trust they place in track marshals and flag systems. It's a useful reminder that the danger in MotoGP isn't limited to crashes; mechanical failures carry their own category of risk for everyone on track, not just the rider whose bike lets go.
