Marc Marquez under indictment, brother Alex defends him

Alex Marquez’s words.

Marc Marquez’s return to the track coincided last Sunday with a crash that cost world leader Fabio Quartararo his retirement.

There was no shortage of controversy, with the Spaniard under accusation, but defending him was his brother Alex: “The first incident that triggered everything I think was generated by Bastianini going wide and Marc got scared and tried to avoid him. Quartararo wanted to pass him and didn’t notice Marc’s hesitation and they had contact, as can happen on the first lap. In the second incident, Marc had a piece of Fabio’s fairing in the rear wheel and when he entered the holeshot, the bike went towards Nakagami. These are things that can happen.”

“Marc went to talk to Fabio. He told me he wanted to pass him and that’s why he was so close. In that part of the track there are a lot of overtaking in the first laps. Those who think badly of Marc are not motorcycle fans, they are fanatics of a rider and whatever happens they lash out at others. These people don’t like motorcycling,” he concluded in As.
