Later, MotoGP Tweeted out saying authorities had declared Ogden fit. Both the racers ended the race with DNF. However, despite this, they’d count themselves lucky, that nothing serious transpired on the track.

Miraculously Unhurt

Despite the sheer ferocity of the collision, both Suzuki and Ogden emerged unscathed.

Spectators and fellow racers held their breath as the gravity of the situation sank in.

As the dust settled and the race came to a close, Jaume Masia celebrated his well-deserved victory. Interestingly, there was a very close fight for the remaining two podium spots, with Sasaki and Toba involved in an intense battle. Toba, despite being ahead of Sasaki was finding it extremely difficult to fend him off. By the time the chequered flag came down, Toba held on to P2 for his dear life.

The massive crash between Suzuki and Ogden is a wonderful example of the fine line that MotoGP riders tread in pursuit of victory. While Masia may have claimed the top spot on the podium, it was the heart-stopping collision that everyone will think of when looking back at the Moto3 race at the Buddh International Circuit.
