There were 2 issues regarding this.
The circuit, but for me the riders are an issue as well.
They are too readily to go shoulder to shoulder. In NASCAR they say rubbing is racing but not on bikes.
Of the circuit, the brake failure is something that could happen to many one at any circuit, I’d say that the circuit design at T1 allowed the rider to safely “step off” without the rider hitting anything. As to the end barrier, given the long run off and an then an air-fence, I’m not sure what more needs done to that part of the circuit.
As to T3, the bike that destroyed itself clipped the edge of the air-fence and barrier behind it, that type of destruction would happen with a similar clip. The extension of the air fence put in place for the second event, would hopefully stop a riderless bike, but a clip type incident could still happen, only this time much closer to to the apex.
Why change the circuit with chicanes, sort out the riding standards. Look at the barriers type and placement first.
