Álex Márquez was the rider affected by Francesco Bagnaia during the MotoGP Italian GP qualifying session that resulted in a grid penalty for the Italian Ducati rider. And for the Gresini man, it is clear that there was irresponsible riding from his rival.
The Spaniard commented: ‘I was coming on a fast lap, improving my time, and I could see Pecco ahead from Sector 2 being very slow in the middle of the track. I was expecting him to look back, to see me, but he never did‘.
In the corner where the incident occurred, Márquez has no doubts that Bagnaia acted incorrectly by being slow on the ideal racing line – hindering his fast lap:
– When entering Correntaio he was completely in the middle of the ideal racing line. I was able to avoid him, but I had to cut the throttle. So, for me what happened was very clear.
