The Marc VDS Moto2 squad's crew has escaped injury after a fire erupted in its garage at Motegi.
This weekend marks the first Japanese GP to be staged by MotoGP since before the COVID-19 pandemic enveloped the world in 2019.
The pit box, located at garage 12 between Suzuki and Aprilia in the Motegi pitlane, was set ablaze when one of Marc VDS' starter motors for its bikes caught fire. A brief message from the team on social media read:"Fortunately all the team members are well and safe despite the fire in our garage. At the Malaysian GP in 2018, one of Suzuki's MotoGP bikes caught fire while it was being warmed outside of the team's pitbox at Sepang.
