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.

Quartararo and Oliveira underwent checks by doctors in an ambulance as the race was red-flagged.

The former somehow escaped unhurt and got the all clear then the Frenchman went on to finish tenth.

But Portuguese Oliveira suffered a dislocated left shoulder and was declared unfit to continue.

It is the second time this season the RNF Aprilia man has been knocked out of a race by another rider after Marc Marquez crashed into him in Portimao.

That forced Oliveira to miss Argentina and means the 28-year-old has completed just one of the first four races of the season.

Pre-race championship leader Bezzecchi also crashed out on a dramatic day in the MotoGP.

And it was his Ducatti team-mate Francesco Bagnaia that eventually took the chequered flag.
