The Italian was hospitalised as a result, but prior to that, both Marquez brothers came to Morbidelli’s aid when he was stranded betwe🔯en turns seven and eight.

Speaking about the accident, Alex M🐻a♛rquez said: “We [himself and Marc Marquez] were in turn five and we saw the red flag on the panels.

“Then we arrived in turns seven and eight🎐, the change of direction, and he crashed there. There, it is very dan🔯gerous.

“He was in a really b♈ad position, unconscious so we put down the bike and put him in a lateral position just so he could breath.

“He started to breathe but the ambulance took around two miꦚnutes to come.

“It was a long two minutes so it was just a human reac😼tion. Everyꦍone would react in that way.”

While that was Marquez’s first on-track appearance of 2024, the Gresini rider will again be on circuit this weekend aཧs MotoGP pre-season testing gets underway at Sepa𝕴ng.

Marquez, who has🔴 been aboard the GP23 bike just once in Valencia, wants to understand more the engine chara🌳cter in Sepang.

“I want to understand a bit more a🉐bout the engine character and how it is different to the 22 [bike],” added Marquez.

“We need to understa🐼nd what we need to try and work with🉐 the electronics.

“The🌱 rest is pretty similar but the engine character is the main 🐎point that I want to work on.

“The engine braking looks like it is a little bit better but on the acceleration it looks different how the 🃏power comes ✅to you.

“It’s true that Valencia is a very special circuit and the conditions were a bit di൩fferent.”
