‘NOT TOO LATE’: Renault's cheeky call to Daniel Ricciardo
In a frantic scramble, the Spaniard attempted to get to his feet.
But when he turned around, he noticed up to five riders bearing down at him at unbelievable speed.
The quick-thinking Spaniard was able to quickly crawl out of the way of the first bike, before he scrambled to the edge of the track.
He eventually dived off the track to evade the final rider and escaped serious injury.
Fans on social media couldn’t quite believe Canet was able to avoid injury in the dangerous situation.
Others praised him for his quick reaction time to get up and off the track.
Terrifying! Great reaction by the other riders. I hope yellow flags were going like mad off screen.

This is one of the scariest crashes I’ve ever seen anyone get away with. Fair play to Aron Canet that he’s scrambling to get up and then just runs to his bike. Nails. @aroncanet44 https://t.co/J7oHsZGJzX
