Last weekend, a horror accident at the Malaysian Grand Prix caused some anxious moments. Jack Miller's hand and head were caught in the bike of an opponent in a wild crash. "I went into detail in the analysis and it made me feel queasy when you don't know how the rider is feeling," explained ServusTV expert Alex Hofmann.

On the first lap, KTM riders Brad Binder (RSA), Jack Miller (AUS) and Fabio Quartararo (FRA/Yamaha) were involved in a nasty crash. Miller, who came to a halt on the track and had to be treated, seemed to have been hit the hardest at first.

"That was tough to analyze. You can see that it was pretty violent," said Hofmann, who was commentating on the race, on Monday on "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" on ServusTV.

Unbelievable but true: Miller escaped without any serious injuries and walked through the pit lane unharmed with his family a few moments later. "The guys had a good reaction, but we don't want to see anything like that. When he then left normally, everyone was relieved," Hofmann breathed a sigh of relief.

Beirer: "Everything calmed down"
 Just like KTM boss Pit Beirer: "Everything calmed down, two of us were lying down. Jack didn't move and it took a long time. We were cautious for a long time. Then we were very happy when he left the medical center on foot."
