Marc Marquez has defended Marco Bezzecchi after the Italian suffered a fractured collarbone during qualifying for the German Grand Prix. This incident, which has left Bezzecchi out of the competition at the Sachsenring, has raised debate among fans about the repercussions of his previous behavior.
Bezzecchi’s fall occurred during Q2, just four minutes after it began, causing a violent crash that required immediate medical attention. This accident comes shortly after Bezzecchi was penalized at the Czech Grand Prix for assaulting a marshall and also after a collision with Marquez last October during the Indonesian Grand Prix.
In response to comments suggesting that the fracture was a punishment for his previous actions, Marquez urged fans not to criticize his rival. He emphasized that there should be a more intense focus on the safety of riders within the competition.
“I have read the word karma since 2015, and I have won six world championships since then. If this is karma, then welcome it. Karma does not exist, and all of us, the riders, are taking many risks,” said Marquez, adding that he hopes for a swift recovery for Bezzecchi and that the safety issues causing similar incidents can be resolved.
The circumstances of Bezzecchi’s accident
Bezzecchi was in a complicated situation due to the aftereffects of a previous fall at the Dutch Grand Prix. Alex Marquez, teammate at Gresini Racing, commented that Bezzecchi’s physical limitations may have influenced his fall at Sachsenring, stressing that the pressure to compete while not in optimal condition can lead to unexpected mistakes.
“I wish him a speedy recovery. He has all summer to recover and come back stronger at Silverstone,” concluded Marquez, thus showing his support for the Aprilia Racing rider.
