Alex Marquez’s motorcycle got stuck in Joan Mir’s inside Japanese Grand Prix. Of course, both are out of the race. And the Honda rider exploded against the Gresini rider, criticizing him very harshly after the test. And there was a sanction.
“At turn 11, Alex went wide, and entering turn 12, he hit me from behind, without thinking, almost like a missile“, Mir said in comments reported by ‘Motorsport’.
And he asked Alex, in a very harsh way, to “think more”: “You have to think a little more about the bike. It’s free to ruin other people’s races. The sporting result me makes me more angry than having hurt me.” “.
“And then I also expect an apology from him. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me with him.“, he insisted.
These apologies came. Alex told the media he spoke with Joan Mir: “I made a mistake in turn 11 which took me off the line, and as I was trying to recover my position I had a collision with Mir, which caused the fall of our motorcycles they got tangled and. I apologized for what happened.”
