MotoGP Germany VIDEO: when Taka Nakagami apologizes to Bagnaia and Rins, the reception is colder at Suzuki

It is a document that Dorna obviously wanted because of the bad impression left after a Grand Prix of Catalonia, the most recent, and which was marked by a fight by the drivers against their colleague Taka Nakagami, but also against the Management of race. An event that Carmelo Ezpeleta did not appreciate who should bring everyone back into line during the next Safety Commission on the Sachsenring where the German Grand Prix takes place. In the meantime, the Japanese makes his act of contrition to Pecco Bagnaia and Alex Rins. If the first is kind, the second is a little colder...

Taka Nakagami said that apologizing for a mistake he feels he made was a culturally important moment for him. Given that the event was followed by the cameras of Dorna, it was also a major political moment... Still, the time has come for appeasement even if we feel thatalex rins holds back so as not to tell the Japanese what he did…

We will recall the feeling of his boss Lucio Cecchinello : " Nakagami made a major mistake involving other pilots. We worked with him on the psychological level , he was not doing well because he was reading everything that was said around, we offered him to apologize to Bagnaia and Rins ».

Firstly, we see Nakagami introduced himself to bagnaia. Here is their exchange: Taka: “ Hello Pecco » and the latter replies: “ hi how are you ". The exchange continues with the major effect, the handshake: “ I'm fine and you ", " It's okay ". " I'm really sorry for the accident. I wanted to apologize after the accident, but I was in the hospital ". The Italian sticks to the subject of his health: “ you are OK ? ». « Yes, I am ok ". " Can you fly, do you have any pain? » still worries the official Ducati. " I hope so, I have a little pain in my right shoulder, I have a medical examination and I hope it goes well. Then I will try ". On this exchange, the two men part with traditional pleasantries, bagnaia accepting the excuses while putting the facts in the box of bad memories.

Alex Rins lectures Taka Nakagami 

A cordial atmosphere which is less obvious with Alex Rins. The welcome is colder and more direct. So when asked how the Spaniard is doing, the latter responds to the Japanese by showing his left wrist, “ worse than you ". After the apologies presented, the pilot Suzuki precise : " It's ok if you know what you did. The important thing Taka is that you understood what happened. But luckily you're ok ". The fact remains that the hands were shaken. Page turned, finally for the MotoGP ? For Taka Nakagami, Yes. For the Race Direction on the other hand…
