When Marc Marquez tweeted a picture from the Brno MotoGP test, showing the Spaniard with his entire arm on the racetrack and asking 'save or crash', many would have thought the la🤪tter.

But he did save it.

The reigning MotoGP champion later tweeted further pictures showing him somehow rising back onto♛ two wheels:

"I was really, really lucky beca𝄹use I lost the front, but really smoothly," he said. "I was able to save with my elbow, but it was very long and I was able to think during the slide how I can manage.

"Then when I was on the floor I say 'ok, now full gas'. I opened full gas and when I opened my eyes again I was on my b🔯ike! Ok, thank you very much!"

Marquez had lost his first race of the season at Brno the previous day but still holds a huge 77-point lead heading into the Bri🧸tish MotoGP.
