TWO MotoGP riders were stretchered away after a horror collision in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Fabio Quartararo and Miguel Oliveira battled it out on the bikes at the Circuito de Jerez in Seville.
They tried to take a tight right-hand bend at high speed towards the back of the field.
But as they approached the turn, Quartararo got sandwiched between Marco Bezzecchi and Oliveira and clipped the latter’s wheels.
Both ended up skidding across the gravel as their bikes hit the barriers in the latest scary crash of the season.
Terrifying on-board footage showed the incident unfold and the shocking moment the riders came off.
