Marc was shaken up mostly because he was sliding through the gravel on his front. Attempting to discern how well he could brake using the crotch area of his Alpinestars leathers. Not an entirely successful experiment, by the look of things.

Has he also injured his chin? Looked like it was injured on TV when he left the pit box at the start of the practice start session?

Bruises on his face, Ducati said. As well as all over the front of his body

Thanks for coming back to me. Looks not to be as bad as it initially looked

I initially thought he had hit his head and had diplopia again

Ouch. Brings a lump (or two) to the throat.

Do the riders where any type of crotch armor?

The suits generally don’t even have leather in that area. Just thick stretchy material.

The crotch slider. Not just the next safety equipment but also the next sponsorship opportunity. Only Fans and Monster will be all over it.
