MotoGP: 6-time world champion Marc Marquez suffers horrific crash in warm up session [Watch]

Six time world champion Marc Marquez is out of the Indonesian MotoGP after a horrific warm-up crash before the start of Sunday's race, which was also delayed due to heavy rainfall.

Marc Marquez was launched off from his bike on turn seven during the morning's 20-minute warm-up session at the Mandalika International Street Circuit.

After he was sent flying from his bike, his Honda also somersaulted mid-air as the Spaniard landed heavily on his left arm and struck his helmet on the ground.

Apparently thrown off-balance due to the crash, the world champion Marc Marquez got up and walked away cautiously.

Here is the video of Marc Marquez' horrific Indonesian MotoGP warm-up crash.

Ruled out with concussion, his Honda team issued an official statement on social media which read, "@marcmarquez93 has been declared unfit after examination in local hospital and by the circuit staff and doctors."

The six time world champion had already suffered a bruising weekend, after two crashes during qualifying on Saturday.

Miguel Oliveira ended up winning the Indonesian MotoGP, finishing 2.205 seconds before the reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo, who started the race from pole position.

French biker Johann Zarco finished in third position, finishing a 3.158 seconds further away.

The start of the race was delayed for 75 minutes because of the harsh weather condition, with grand prix racing returning to Indonesia for the first time in a quarter of a century.
