BARCELONA, June 18 (Reuters) - The MotoGP Grand Prix of Catalunya was halted after a crash involving six riders at the first corner on Sunday.
Italian Marco Melandri was carried away from the track on a stretcher after being attended by doctors where he lay in the gravel.
A Honda team official reported the rider was conscious.
The accident started when Spaniard Sete Gibernau's Ducati flipped, taking John Hopkins, Melandri, Dani Pedrosa, championship leader Loris Capirossi and Randy de Puniet with him off the circuit.
Ducati's Capirossi, looking shaken and walking with assistance, also went to the mobile clinic and was not expected to make the re-start.

The thing i most admire about Rossi is the fact that he does it on an inferior bike-sure the Yamaha's good,but its still way off the Hondas & possibly even the Ducatis. Thats what makes him a god to me...
