Pol Espargaro was forced to sit outܫ the final day of the Sepang ﷽MotoGP test after a big accident on Monday.

The KTM rider lost control 🥃of 𒁏his RC16 under braking for Turn 4, the bike then spearing sideways off the track and into the wall.

"Honestly I feel lucky," said the ꦏSpaniard. "I had a big locking on the straight,ജ just when I touched the brake and went into the outside wall.

"It was really close, I hit it around more than 250km/h ✱an🍒d nothing really big happened - no broken bones, just pain everywhere especially in my feet because I did many flips, front and the back.

"But even if I cannot ride today, I'm lucky to be here and to be watchin🎃g with the team."

The Spaniard's main injury wa💦s to his ankles, which will be further checked on his retur𝔉n to Europe.

"I makeಞ some X-rays here at the track and also in Kuala Lumpur. There is nothing broken but I don't know how the ligaments are. That worries me a little bit more because I feel pain on the movement.

"Right now the ankleဣs are still quite swollen. We'll see how I feel when I arrive ♑in Barcelona and make a resonance scan to check everything and be clear."

Espargaro's place for the final day was taken by testღ rider Mika Kallio.

"For sure I don’t l꧋ike th𒅌at I cannot test all the things that were ready for the bike but anyway I think KTM did a good test with Mika, who was already here and ready to ride.

"He is 🔜ri𒀰ding with my bike, testing my things and I trust him 100%. Honestly I feel lucky because I'm not badly hurt and I have good guys in my pit box working with my bikes and checking what I couldn't. I'm grateful to them."
