After considering Pecco Bagnaia guilty in the incident with Marc Márquez at the Portuguese GP, where John McGuinness spoke about ‘amateurism’ and ‘frustration’ on the part of the Italian, he tried to explain later the origin of that same feeling on the part of the world champion.
Recalling the words of the British rider, the fact that he was caught by Pedro Acosta even before the battle with Márquez, he was already ‘in trouble’ and then, with #93, he did not want to ‘allow’ Márquez to overtake, as he explained to MCN, not forgetting the disadvantage he had to Jorge Martín who would go on to win: ‘Seeing Martín three seconds ahead and then seeing on the board that Acosta was getting closer, perhaps his head generated that frustration’.
He continued, noting that the Gresini rider was on the rise at that moment in the race: ‘Márquez was advancing and making overtaking maneuvers that we all want to see when we are sitting on the couch, but if we are at Ducati it is exactly what we do not want to see’.
The topic among the Ducati universe is closed, as well as among the riders themselves have hinted.
