"Perhaps he didn't expect Marquez to come back so quickly, which only he can do."
Max Biaggi believes that Francesco Bagnaia found himself in the “wrong place at the wrong time” but should not be blamed for the crash with Marc Marquez.It was ruled a racing incident by Race Direction but robbed both riders of crucial points in the early exchanges for the championship.
"Marc attempted to overtake in that left corner and surprised Pecco who, in my opinion, was right to cross because anyone would have done it to try to get back to the front.“Bagnaia found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, unfortunately they both crashed and this is a shame for the ranking, but I would say that there is a 50/50 responsibility."
But a clash in only the second round of the season between Ducati’s star man and reigning champion, and their illustrious newcomer, will set the tone for MotoGP’s return in Texas in two weeks.Four-time 250cc champion Biaggi is a legend, and currently a brand ambassador, for Aprilia.Although the record books do not count sprints as official MotoGP victories, Vinales became the first rider to win with three manufacturers.
