2013 MotoGP: The Catalunya Crashfest

The guys at MotoGP.com have put up together a nice video with the most spectacular crashes during the 6th round of the 2013 season, at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain. The present compilation has footage from the entire weekend.
The almost infamous turn 10 was the one who probably claimed most of the crashes across the three classes, but there was spilling all over the place.

According to the riders' reports, the very high temperature has cause a lot of grip problems, especially for the front end, and that's why so many riders crashed. Several big names in the premier class were put of the race, too.

Alvaro Bautista almost took Rossi out the same way things happened at Mugello, but the he missed the Doctor by inches. Cal Crutchlow went down, alongside Nicky Hayden, Andrea Iannone, Hector Barbera, Abraham, de Puniet (engine failure), Hiroshi Aoyama (with a severe hand injury) and Laverty.
