Bagnaia then 👍described his attempted overtake on the inside of M𒁃arquez.

“When Marc arrived, he overtook me. I tr♚ied 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 clo🦋se 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 because we were fighting for fifth position.

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

“We both finished in the gravel.

“This is something tha♔꧋t can affect us a lot at the end of the championship.

“He was suffering a lot at the en♊d, 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 catch you. Yo🌠u have to accept this.

“H𒈔e came back in ♉an optimistic way, and we finished in the gravel.”
