A video released by MotoGP’s off🐻icial website revealed a behind-the-scenes conversation between Marquez and Bagnaia that revealed the latter faced several issues during the grand prix.

“It was all dry,” Bagnaia began.

“I had the dry bike, bu🎉t with wet tyres. One l😼ap lasts a lifetime like that.

“I thought, ‘I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go’. Then I saw you running off, andᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ and I thought ‘he’s usually smart, he knows what he’s doing. I’ll go too’.

“But when I got to my box, I haded him ꧅my bottle, got on the𒅌 bike and then the lights came on.

“But I🌠 was kind of happy when they said ‘stop everything’.”

“I knew what I wanted to do,” Marquez replied.

After this, Bagnaia went on to reveal that 🎃he battled vibration issues during the grand prix at certain corners - something Marquez says didn't affect him.

“But today, you were faster,” Bagnaia dded. “A bit faster🌱 than your brother. The problem was the rear vibration.

“I didn’t have any,” said in response, to which Bagnaia added: “No, but after it started there was a lot of vibration at Turn 6,ꦅ Turn 17, Turn 18.”
