Stewards investigated Sunday’s clash whi🐲ch wiped reigning champion Bagnaia out of the Portimao grand prix but deemed it to be a racing incident.
Marquez, whose hopes of a P5 finish were extinguished a🎶nd who was forced to limp home in 16th, agreed that no punishment was warranted although he insisted Bagnaia was “at the limit” of an acceptable move.
TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty analysed it: “We’d just witnessed th♛e moment where Pedro Acosta went through, then protected his line.
“Pecco wanted to cut back under 🐽Marc. There wasn’t quite enough room.
“These bཧikes are quite fat with the wings on the front.
“The cut back was on. He stayed down inside. Hꦉe sort of squirts it into the side of Marc.
“It’s 💟a r✤acing incident that could have been avoided.
“It weighs heavily into being Pecco who caused the incident that took both rider🐟s down.
“There was a slight door open. He should have been more cautious, if you want 🌼to keep upright.
“Obviously it will run and run…
“It wa꧒s certainly [Pecco’s] fault that they both ended up on the deck.”
Marquez had claimed: “It was a mistake because we were fighting for 5tꦛh, 6th position. Two more points, two less.”
Bagnaia insisted his manoeuvre “wasn’t risky”.
The big beneficiary of the dramatic moment was Jorge Martin, who won the Portug💙uese MotoGP while watching two title rivals plummet out of the points.
Laverty said about Pramac’s Martin: “He got the start, got his head down, w🦂orked his tyre hard to get a gap, then controlled it.
“His pace was metronomiꦜc. He wasꦆ chased all the way, he never had a moment to relax.
“That’s what Martin is capable of. It’s weird - he’s been the sprint king, now he’s the feature race🍎 king. While Pecco looked like the man in the sprint yesterday.
“The GP24 Ducatis threw a curveball in.”
Sy🍸lvain Guintoli added: “It’s good for him to break ♐Pecco’s dominance on a Sunday.
“Martin was comfortable with the medium tyre. He took his confidence into the race. Hꦐe was aggressive, led all the way.
“He’s definitely going to take the fight to Pecco for the championsh𒈔ip.”
Laverty said about Pramac Ducati: “They are obv🌠iously ready to fight for the championship.
“With the mistakes from Pecco, that was exceptional from Marti✨n to take the bull by the horns and really take control of the race. A dominant display.”
Martin ends the second ro🧔und of the 2024 season leading the MotoGP standings.
