Overview
- José Antonio Rueda and Noah Dettwiler collided on the formation lap at Sepang, drawing an immediate red flag and prolonged on-track medical response.
- Both riders were treated at the circuit and airlifted to hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, with reports indicating the absence of a rapid-evacuation vehicle contributed to a delay of nearly two hours.
- KTM said Rueda is awake and conscious with a suspected hand fracture, while hospital authorities reported Dettwiler suffered severe head, thoracic and abdominal trauma, a ruptured spleen and open leg fractures requiring multiple surgeries.
- The Moto3 race was restarted at 10 laps and won by Taiyo Furusato for his first world championship victory, with Ángel Piqueras second and Adrián Fernández third.
- Event scheduling was reshaped, Moto2 was moved and shortened, and Álex Márquez later won the MotoGP race to secure the season subchampionship.
