An impressive moment turned heads this Sunday at the MotoGP Grand Prix of Styria.

It was not starred by the winner of the test, the Portuguese Miguel Oliveira. On the contrary, the fact was in charge of a pilot who ended up disqualified: the Spanish Maverick Viñales.

The Hispanic representative made a remarkable decision in a matter of seconds, which could have saved his life.

With his motorcycle traveling at about 200 kilometers per hour, Viñales threw himself on the track when he confirmed that had run out of brakes. The vehicle then hit a barrier and then caught fire.

The action of the Spanish has been praised by colleagues and fans. However, the athlete could not hide his annoyance after the competition.

“Fear? Fear of nothing, a lot of anger. I can’t do anything. Fortunately, the circuits are safe enough that if something like this happens, you can have reaction time. A lot of anger inside and a lot of frustration ”, he lamented.

Viñales said that “there are three races that we had a very good opportunity to snatch a lot of points from Fabio (overall leader). There have been many failures in these three races. We cannot ask for much more if we are failing ”, he concluded.
