The incident between Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia during the race at Portimao has heated up tempers, sparking strong reactions among fans and the MotoGP universe and Jorge Lorenzo, now a commentator for DAZN Spain, has shared his in-depth analysis of the situation.
The five-time World Champion commented: “ after viewing the images several times, it seems to me that both drivers intended to exit the corner at the front. Marc perhaps forced himself a little by widening his trajectory, trying to get back on the rope. Pecco, having a clear view of the action, tried to take advantage of the space left by Marc, accelerating prematurely. In my opinion, Bagnaia should have let Marc pass, which makes him more responsible in this matter, " explain Jorge Lorenzo.
Oooof 😮
