The 2023 season ended with Pecco Bagnaia celebrating with a world title and victory in the Grand Prix of the Valencian Community, but it also ended with a small controversy between Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Márquez. Both were out of the race due to falls, with the Italian being the first to fall by the wayside, after being touched by the Spaniard. A racing incident for the stewards, but for the Mooney VR46 driver it was more than that. “Márquez decided to put an end to my race in the third corner. He did the same in Thailand, he hit me from behind. The problem is that this time he was so strong, he hurt my shoulders and left foot. His style is not a lot of explanation. They decided not to show the repetition, because the action was very dirty. It’s Márquez, no one can touch him. They investigate, but they don’t do anything. The stewards never touch Marc and he is the dirtiest rider in MotoGP. For the It’s always a race incident. When you crash a driver, you at least deserve a penalty. It’s 27 laps and if you throw me out in the third corner, you deserve a penalty. I spoke to the stewards, but they didn’t want to talk to me. I tried to talk with Carlos Ezpeleta and he didn’t want to talk to me. That’s why I went to Marc’s shirt afterwards. He told me he didn’t see me, but that’s impossible”, said the Italian bluntly. Bezzecchi’s words quickly reached Márquez’s ears, who was quick to respond, but without being too corrosive. “I’m not going to waste too much time with Bezzecchi. He came to my truck, but I’m not going to make any comment because it could be inappropriate. I think he will regret what he said when he came to the truck, but only when he matures. The action was clear first lap”, said the Spaniard, who today completed his last race for Honda.
Next year they will both be riding Ducati bikes – Bezzecchi on the Mooney VR46, Márquez on the Gresini – and the question is: what will the environment be like? The Italian left a kind of warning. “You won’t respect the Ducati riders next year, but I will do the same!”
Contact with @marcmarquez93 resulted in a costly crash for Bezzecchi and no further action was taken ?
