But inevitably it will liv𒁏e long in the memories of both ride𓃲rs as they attempt to build a championship challenge this year.

And it will give Ducati some thou😼ght about how to manage the situation, and the fallout could perhaps🌱 even impact whether they want Marquez as Bagnaia’s teammate in red next year.

Davide Tardozzi, Ducati team🐭 boss, accompanied Marquez and Bagnaia into Race Direction where the collision was ruled a racing incident.

Bagnaia revealed wha📖t they sa🦩id inside the private hearing.

“We both went to the side of ‘no penalty’, obviously,”♍ he explained.

“But we are two different guys with dif🥀ferent mentalities. So, different points 💖of view.”

Marquez’s side of the story: “When 🅘Race Direction came to me, I said ‘it was on the red line, you must decide’.”

Bagnaia then describe🌠d his attempted overtake on the inside of Marquez.

“Whe༒n Marc arrived, he overtook me. I tried to cross the line,” he said. “He tried to close his line, and we collided.

“Unluckily it ended with zero points. In the next race we have to fight back to close the🅠 gap.”

Marquez laid the blame at Bagnaia’s door: “Of course, these things happen in races. But I didn’t expect that mistake from Pecco in this race beওcause we were fighting for fifth position.

“In the end, two points more or two points less…

“We both finished in the gravel.

“This꧙ is something that can affect us a lot at the end of the champi🐈onship.

“He was suffering a lot at the ♓end, I was suffering at the beginning. I was catching him.

“You know that when you are suffering, sooner or later after three or four laps, the other rider will catchꦺ you. You have to accept this.

“He caꦑme bac🎃k in an optimistic way, and we finished in the gravel.”
