RiderTua.com – Max Biaggi believes that Pecco Bagnaia was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the factory Ducati rider should not be blamed for the crash with Marc Marquez. Pecco’s attempt to overtake Marquez at the Portuguese GP made both of them fall into the gravel. Race Direction declared it a racing incident and they both lost important points at the start of the 2024 season.
The MotoGP legend said, “I think it was a racing incident and there was no intention, either on one side or the other. Marc tried to overtake on that left corner and surprised Pecco who I think made the right cross as anyone would do to try again forward.”
Max Biaggi : Pecco Bagnaia in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
Max Biaggi added that maybe Pecco didn’t expect Marquez to come back so quickly, and only he could do it. The Italian rider found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, unfortunately both fell and his ranking in the standings dropped. However, according to Max, there is 50/50 responsibility.
After the clash, both Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez denied the possibility of increasing tension within Ducati. However, the battle in the second series of this season between the defending champion and the 6-time MotoGP world champion will determine the return of the fierce MotoGP battle at COTA Texas in the next 2 weeks.
