The clash between Bagnaia and younger Marquez remains a talking point as MotoGP heads to Misano
MotoGP is still dealing with the after-effects of Francesco Bagnaia's collision with Alex Marquez in the Aragon Grand Prix. While Marc Marquez's stunning comeback win in Spain after a 1000-day drought generated plenty of headlines, the aftermath of the weekend was dominated by reactions and public judgement over the crash between his younger brother Alex and world champion Bagnaia six laps from the chequered flag.
Alex Marquez accepted the apology in Misano but said the “damage to my person, my team and my image has already been done,” in reference to the reactions. Several other riders in the paddock also chipped in with comments about the situation. “There are a lot of hooligans that take the words of the riders to go against the others and this is very bad,” opined KTM test rider Pol Espargaro on the wider context.
