\u201clucky\u201d to avoid injuring himself as Marc Marquez did last year at the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix after a crash in Practice.<\/p>\n<p>The Yamaha rider slid off of his bike at the fast Turn 9 section during Friday afternoon\u2019s Practice session.<\/p>\n<p>The crash itself was nothing serious, but he was thrown into a roll when his sliding body struck the gravel trap due to a lip in the asphalt.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a complaint riders have repeatedly had about Mandalika, with reigning champion Marc Marquez\u2019s season ended in a crash last year because of a shoulder injury sustained in the gravel.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1352121_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp
