Wild card Mika Kallio was taken to hospital with a knee injury after a frightening crash in the early stages of FP2. The Finnish rider, full-time tester for KTM, was appearing in his third wild card outing of the year for the Austrian MotoGP squad.
He ran into the gravel trap outside the fast Turn 8 at barely reduced speed, and was thrown off the KTM at the end of a wild ride, and directly into the air fence. His bike followed him in.
He was stretchered off, and later taken to hospital for further checks.
