At the end of the day to dominate è great bitterness.
Marc Marquez dà his side of the story about the collision with Pecco Bagnaia, which forced both of them to end the MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix without winning a single point. The two collided in Turn 5 on lap 23 out of 25 overall, both crashing. The Catalan of the Gresini team then finished the Portimao race, but only in 16th place.
"It è was a race accident – è was the reconstruction of Marquez, reached at the end of the day by the microphones of 'Sky Sport' -. We ended up on the ground, and this è really bad for both of us. Obviously we didn’t want to end up with 0 points, but è that’s how it è turned out".
Marquez then reconstructed the moment of his collision with Bagnaia: "Pecco was suffering a lot, but I waited for my moment. If I had not tried to pass him lì, on the next lap I would have passed in front anyway. He tried to cross the line to take back the position, maybe è he was too optimistic. I was on the outside and at that point unfortunately I couldn't do much. Anyway, these are things that can happen" on the track.
