When ♑Ben Spies' engine exploded along the main straight whilst running second in Sunday's Indianapolis MotoGP (pictured), it caused some scary moments for those behind the Texan.

Whi൲le Spies' Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo passed into second without trouble, the growing cloud of smoke around turn one caused major vision problems for 🍸those next in line.

"After Ben's engine broke Iꩲ couldn't see anything And I couldn't see where Ben was," said Andrea Dovizi♎oso, who moved from fourth to third after Spies' retirement.

"It was so dangerous for me and Casey and Bautista. Also, when the smoke was gone, I had all the oil in ꧙mജy visor, so I didn't know if I had oil on the tyres as well."

Stoner, who lost a☂ place to Stefan Bradl as he ran wide through the smoke, added: "I found myself in the middle oꦰf the smoke, unsure where I was going and what I might hit and we lost positions again."

Dovizioso went on to finish third𓂃 and Stoner fourth.
