Chase Sexton has had an absolutely huge crash on press day with the Kawasaki rider going over the bars on a huge jump and limped to the side of the track in pain and shock as things keep getting worse on green!
More as we get it:

Sexton had earlier spoke to Lewis about the ghostride at Hangtown in the Kawasaki pits:
“So I obviously had a rough first moto. I got hit two turns to go, went on the ground again. Webb, he got me back for San Diego. So yeah, I was frustrated, but I just not comfortable. It was just kind of riding around, to be honest, out there. I mean, I’m riding as fast as I can, but it’s not even close to my pace. And I just came back, I lost my cool, definitely wasn’t very professional with me, and it wasn’t a good look.
“It’s just been a lot of build up to get to that point. I’ve been trying to suppress it, suppress it, and it just came out. And yeah, I got caught in my chain, getting through my washer to put my bike back, and I just left the clutch out. I mean, everyone thinks I just ghost rode it into the semi, but I really just like, it went likely three feet in front of me and just fell over it. And I didn’t ghost ride it into Garrett.
“Garrett was not as close to me. So, a lot of speculation on what happened. I just, honestly, I just left my clutch out, left it there, and it wasn’t. I mean, that’s obviously not the right move. I felt bad about it after I cooled down, but it’s just a lot of frustration building up, and it finally came to a peak there.”
