The marshals and Crutchlow had to sprint away as Marquez's Honda flew into the Tech 3 Yamaha and hit it as it tumbled across the gravel.
Crutchlow is OK, but Marquez is in the medical centre having a potential collarbone injury assessed.

Moto2 - Silverstone: We're around five minutes away from the start of the Moto2 British GP. Hopes of a home win this weekend rest largely on the shoulders of points leader Scott Redding, who starts from second.
If you missed a scintillating finish to qualifying yesterday, the top four were all covered by less than 0.1s. Expectations of a thriller are high, it's safe to say.

Quote
Auto GP - Donington: Race winner Vittorio Ghirelli gives his reaction to his second victory of the season, a result which moves him into a 13-point lead over Sergio Campana:
"The start didn't go so well, I dropped to third, but I was able to set good laptimes. The strategy was good, I started with new tyres, and when Giovesi made a small mistake I could take second.
"My goal for race two is not to take any risks, but finish ahead of my direct rivals. There are still three races to go, so I need to keep focused."

Moto2 - Silverstone: Redding makes a great start and dives into the lead at Copse. Nakagami, Luthi and Zarco are all on his tail.
Quote
Auto GP - Donington: Race one poleman Narain Karthikeyan, who first raced at Donington in Formula Ford in 1994, explains the tyre issues he experienced in this morning's race:
"I started to get a lot of graining, so the team decided on making an earlier pitstop that we would have ideally liked. The fronts were totally gone when I came in, so I think it was probably the right call. We were also worried about the pace of Sato, who was lapping quickly."

Kopecky
ERC - Zlin: Not long to go before the final stages of Rally Zlin get underway. Jan Kopecky continues to lead, but has adopted a more cautious approach following an overnight downpour which has made things rather tricky.
"It's getting worse and worse with a lot of cars putting mud on the road and you don’t see it," said the current championship leader. "It's better not to take any risk because our gap is quite big. We just try to survive."
He is 40.7s ahead of Vaclav Pech who has enjoyed a relatively issue-free event in his privateer Mini, while Jaromir Tarabus now occupies third position after team-mate Roman Kresta suffered a puncture while tackling the Jankovice stage this morning.
Jan Kopecky cruising, Roman Kresta hits trouble
Moto2 - Silverstone: Luthi looking strong here. He sets the new fastest lap of the race and is now just 0.136s down on Redding. Aegerter has fallen back from the front trio, but is still well clear of Simeon, Rabat, Kallio and Zarco.
Moto2 - Silverstone: Redding's lead is the biggest it has been all race now, after Nakagami repasses Luthi for second. Seven laps to run here.
Moto2 - Silverstone: Nakagami makes extremely light work of closing the gap to Redding, and sneaks past going through the Loop. For the first time this race Redding doesn't lead, and now he has Luthi on his tail. Has Nakagami timed this to perfection?
ERC - Zlin: First up this afternoon is the second pass through Majak which, at almost 24 kilometres long, is the event's longest stage and also one of the trickiest as it is littered with hairpins.
Moto2 - Silverstone: Beautifully poised this. Will Redding push, knowing that he will still gain on title rival Espargaro? Does Luthi, who suffered a horrible injury in pre-season, has anything in hand? And hasNakagami, who has led several times this year only to fade at the end, finally timed this one to perfection?
ERC - Zlin: Don't forget you can also watch video highlights from the European Rally Championship on our dedicated rallying page.
Moto2 - Silverstone: And don't overlook Rabat. He has four laps to close a 1.5s gap to the leaders, but he's absolutely flying at the moment.
