Pol Espargarò absolves Marc Marquez and points finger at Pecco Bagnaia

Marc Marquez-Pecco Bagnaia contact: the opinion of Pol Espargarò

During an intervention at the microphones of "DAZN Spain", the'former Honda centaur and current KTM test driver Pol Espargarò, among the various topics covered, he è dwelt on the contact between Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia in the closing stages of the Portimao GP, which compromised the race of both pilots.

"I honestly think that Marc was in front at that moment, becauseè he had just made the overtake. Therefore the one who was returning the overtaking was Bagnaia and he should have been the one who predicted where Marquez was, because the latter could not nè see nè predict the maneuver of Pecco" began the former Honda centaur.

"Marc was completely bent and Pecco è came from behind and had to predict Marquez’s moves and therefore should have given him some space. It must be said that that corner has a particular slope that did not allow him to leave so much space and it was this aspect that caused the contact between the two. Ultimately, I believe that Marc could have done little in that situation, while Pecco could have avoided the'accident" added Pol Espargarò.
