Francesco Bagnaia claims Alex Marquez “was trying to arrive to this contact” in Aragon MotoGP clash.
The Italian added that data shows Marquez’s throttle remained open during the incident, which occurred as they fought over third place late in the grand prix, and suggested the Spaniard tried to make contact.
“He was wide, I was in front with much more speed. I entered that corner without closing the line because I knew he was there. But my speed was enough to overtake him without any problems. “I wanted to look at that data... He remained with 60 percent, 40 percent of throttle open until when he crashed. So this is very strange by a rider, I think.”“In my opinion, it's impossible that he didn't see me. I was already in front of him before changing direction.”
