been captured giving a marshal the middle finger in a heated exchange on Friday at the Indonesian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>The multiple MotoGP race winner suffered a crash towards the end of Friday afternoon\u2019s Practice session at the Mandalika circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Under MotoGP\u2019s new rules, if your bike\u2019s engine stops in a crash, you cannot restart it from the side of the track and must go to an escape road.<\/p>\n<p>As there was only two minutes to go, Rins had no time to get his bike restarted off the circuit and rejoin the session.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<div
