Raul Fernandez has expressed his frustration and indignation with Marco Bezzecchi after the crash between both pilots during the MotoGP race in Mandalika. The incidents on Saturday, which ended with Fernandez on the ground and with a fractured finger, have opened a debate about the behavior of pilots on the track.
Fernandez had started the day with great news, achieving his first pole position in MotoGP, but the joy quickly turned into disappointment. The accident occurred when Bezzecchi, an Aprilia rider, veered off his line, causing Fernandez to move towards the outside of the track. The result was a collision that left both of them out of contention for the victory that they both could have achieved.
After the incident, Fernandez did not hesitate to point out Bezzecchi, whom he accused of acting unprofessionally. ‘The worst part is knowing that Marco did something he shouldn’t have done. We can fall, but it’s disappointing that this happens to us knowing that we are both Aprilia riders and had the pace to be up front,’ he declared in a combative tone.
Fernandez admitted that before the race they had discussed the importance of not interfering with each other in the early laps. ‘The message before the race was clear: we shouldn’t bother each other, because we had a good pace. And yet, I was hit and taken out of competition,’ he added with disappointment.
