Enea Bastianini has explained why he 🧜ran off track in his controversial last lap overtake of Jorge Martin in the MotoGP Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

The final lap overtake at Turn 4 from factory Ducati rider Bastianini on Martin for the lead of last Sunday’s race at Misano꧑ has been subject of hot debate ever ꦕsince.

Bඣastianini launched his Ducati up the inside of Pramac rider Martin, with the pair making slight contact and the latter runnin💞g well wide - while Bastianini also ran beyond the kerb.

The 🍃stewards took no action on the incident, though did allegedly look into it. However, they are yet to publicly confirm this.

Opinion on the matter was split, with some riders feeling that the 🐓fact Bastianini also ran off track mea🐎nt he should have been forced to give the place back.

But ah💖ead of this weekend’s Indonesian GP, the Emilia Romagna GP winner sa𓆏ys he was always going to make the corner had he not looked to see if Martin had crashed.

“Well, no, I’m not surprised because also I went directly off the line because I turned 🦂my head to see how Jorge was, because I saw [a suggestion] of a crash,” he said when asked if he was surprised by the fallout the overtake has generated.

“And I thought he crashed. But he was only wide. Wi♒thout that situation I was on the line and I agree with my first approach, with my first decision to be correct.”

Championship leader Martin’s opinion o꧙n the incident hasn’t changed since it happ🃏ened, but “respects the stewards’ decision”.

ﷺ“For me, there’s no sense to keep talking about the past,” he said.

“I’m not agreed 100% because I think it was over the limit. In the end I need to respect the stewards’ decision. So, congrats to Enea and Iღ will try here.”

Marc Marquez was the most notable name to have called for a penalty for Bastianini last Sunday, and🎉 suggested his opinion hasn’t changed when a⛎sked for his thoughts again on Thursday in Lombok.

“I was not involved. I have already said my opinion,” the🌟 Gresi✤ni rider said.
