    Crashes Sachsenring 2013
    The Sachsenring weekend was characterized by a unusually high number of crashes, which kept the circuit medical center and Clinica Mobile very busy patching up banged up riders.
    There were 61 crashes overall at Sachsenring - with some riders binning their bikes more than once - like MotoGP’s Cal Crutchlow and Nicky Hayden.
    Just the MotoGP class saw 20 crashes that resulted in Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Andrea Iannone beign forced to skip the race.
    Last season saw 42 crashes, while in 2011 there were 51, and even if there were a few wet sessions in 2012, most of the crashes occured on a dry track due to the circuit’s layout.
    Many MotoGP riders blamed their tires, requesting that Bridgestone bring asymmetric front tires to tracks that have a succession of corners going in the same direction and tires have problems keeping the heat on the less used side.
    Moto2 and Moto3 rider use Dunlop tires, but they didn’t fare any better in the German GP, but in the lower classes riders make a lot less noise about any issues, and most crashes are chalked up to over eager and ambitious teenagers, even if Pol Espargaro, Scott Redding, Xavier Simeon and few others all suffered from extremely degraded tires (check out the photo on gpinside.com or this image posted by journalist Tammy Gorali on Twitter.
