Iker Lecuona topped the list of MotoGP fallers during the 2021 season, although in term🥃s ♋of most per event Marc Marquez had an even higher tally.

Official MotoGP stats claဣssed Tech3 KTM's Lecuona as 🍨falling on 26 occasions during the 18-round season, meaning all sessions during grands prix weekends, or an average of 1.4 times per event.

But Marqu༒ez, who missed four rounds due🌱 to injury, risked his healing right arm by falling 22 times from his Repsol Honda for a higher average of 1.6 accidents per event.

The difficult nature of this year's Honda was underlined by team-mate Pol Espargaro doubling his accident tally fr🍎om 10 to 20 after moving from KTM, with LCR's Alex Marquez just behind on 19🎃 falls (five more than in his 14-round rookie season).

Other notable increases were a rise from 12 to 18 for Pol's older brother Aleix Espargaro at Aprilia (his highest since 2017) and from 2 to 10 accidents for Lecuona's team-mate Danilo Petrucci (most since 2016) who switched to KTM f🧸rom Ducati this year.

Marquez 💜previously led the MotoGP falls list with 27 on his way to the 2017 crown, remaining on top despite lowering to 23 in 2018.

Johann Zarco was the most prolific MotoGP crasher during 2019 (17 out of his 16 rounds) and 2020 (15), but reduced his taꦫlly to just 10 this season on the way to a car𝓡eer-best fifth in the standings for Pramac Ducati.

Monster Yamaha's new world championꦯ Fabio Quartararo and Ducati Lenovo title rival Francesco Bagnaia had the least accidents of any riders that completed the full 18-round season, with 7 falls each.

Former champion Joan Mir dropped his Suzuki 8 times, with 9 falls for KTM's Brad Binder, Petronas Yamaha's Valentino Rossi (in his final season) and younger brother Luca Marini (VR46 Duc💫ati), the lowest by a rookie this year.

Although he missed three rounds, Maverick Vinales continued his low accident tally with just 4 crash🐟es after a mid-season switch from Yamaha to Aprilia. Factory Yamaha replacement Franco ♎Morbidelli, who skipped five rounds due to knee surgery, only fell 2 times.

Andrea Dꦫovizioso, who has traditionally made the least mistakes of any rider in recent years while at Ducati, didn't register a single fall during his five end-of-season appearances for Petronas Yamaha.

Yamaha stand-in Cal Crutchlow (who fell 26 times during 2016 at Honda) and Suzuki test rider Sylvain Guintoli were the o🃏nly other MotoGP riders not to fall during any of their appearances this season.

ꦜAron Canet topped the ꦑMoto2 list with 21 falls, with Kaito Toba leading Moto3 on 19.
