The crash of the multiple Spanish world champion also resulted in a red flag, which was activated due to a significant amount of oil on the track.

This is ultimately a (second) chance for the Marquez brothers, who were able to return to the track despite their crash. They even regained their positions on the grid, namely second and fourth place, since a new standing start was able to be given.
