Two riders at Brands Hatch were flipped and spun in a horrific warm-up lap crash
This is not an easy watch.

Crashes in motorbike racing are frequent, but it’s not often you see one as wince-inducing as this.
During the warm-up lap for race two in the Ducati TriOptions Cup at Brands Hatch circuit in Kent, a handful of riders came off their bikes.
And sliding vulnerably along the track after being separated from their bikes, Rob Guiver and Nick Ford were particularly unlucky.
Unsurprisingly the race was restarted, with Ford, Guiver and another, Nicky Wilson, all listed as non-starters.
And while Eurosport reported that all riders had escaped serious injury, this picture of Ducati Romford/Hyside Motorcycles rider Guiver, who was in contention for the title, shows the rider in a pretty bad way.
Nasty stuff.
