MotoGP rookie Karel Abraham was taken to hospital for checks after a nasty accident on the first lap of Sunday's Aragon Grand Prix (see below for further pictures).
The Cardion AB Ducati rider, eighth and the top non-factory bike rider in qualifying, fell after contact with another competitor and was then struck on the helmet by the rear wheel of his Desmosedici.
Conscious but complaining of a headache, the 21-year-old was taken to hospital, where he passed a series of medical checks.
Nevertheless, Abraham will remain under observation in hospital.
