Vinales was flying towards the first corner when he realised his brakes weren’t working properly, so the Spaniard was forced into a drastic course of action.
Despite travelling at a speed of around 200km/h, Vinales leapt off his bike as it hurtled through the gravel and into the air wall, before bursting into flames.
Vinales explained after the incident that his “brake exploded” suddenly, on his approach to turn one.
Viewers were left stunned by the terrifying incident.
Vinales was also caught up in the horror incident involving Valentino Rossi in last week’s MotoGP.
Miguel Oliveira became the first Portuguese rider to claim a MotoGP victory after the scary scenes, edging Pramac Ducati’s Jack Miller and pole-sitter Pol Espargaro of KTM to seal a first-ever premier class victory for the KTM Tech3 team.
Miller and Espargaro produced a string of blistering laps to take control of the race.
