Jorge Lorenzo does not absolve either Pecco Bagnaia or Marc Marquez

Bagnaia-Marquez contact: the opinion of Jorge Lorenzo

During an intervention at the microphones of "DAZN Spain", the'former Yamaha centaur Jorge Lorenzo, among the various topics covered, wanted to provide his interpretation regarding the contact between Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez in the closing stages of the Portimao GP, which forced both drivers to close the race outside the points zone.

"First of all, we need several replays to understand more clearly what happened. I think they both wanted to get to the same apex to get out of that corner ahead of the'other. Marc had exaggerated a bit' and when he realized it he was coming back into the trajectory" began the'former Spanish centaur.

"The'only one who had a perfect view was Pecco, since he was slightly behind. He took advantage of the space left by Marc under braking to get on the inside very quickly and open the throttle. I think Bagnaia could have let Marquez pass, give him the position and then try the overtake again at a later time" added the'former Honda and Ducati centaur.

"Martin did everything flawlessly. I saw him very similar to Bagnaia, he handled the race like he did in Qatar. Pedro understands everything quickly, è very smart and in Portimao he made huge steps forward. In Austin he will struggle, but I am sure that in Jerez he will do very well" commented Jorge Lorenzo.
