Red flags after fire at Mugello.
The final qualifying session for the Italian Grand Prix has been interrupted by a fiery accident for Proton KR's Kurtis Roberts.
The American MotoGP rookie fell from his machine with nine-minutes of the session to go, coming to rest against an airfence.
Although Kurtis was unhurt his machine erupted in flames, burning both itself and the airfence, forcing a red flag while it is replaced. The session is due to restart at 15:10 local time.

At present, top improver in the session is Kurtis' brother Kenny - up to seventh - while no-one has got anywhere near Sete Gibernau's sensational Friday pole time...
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
