MotoGP Le Mans: Francesco Bagnaia “didn’t like the reaction” but “not angry with Maverick Vinales”
The reign🥃ing world champion said he understood the Aprilia rider had acted 'aggressively' in the heat of the moment and couldn’t help but smile that the incident occurred between two of the “most clean riders on the grid”.
The pair clashed over third place on lap 5 of 🌜the race when, after being outbraked by Vinales into the final chicane, Bagnaia then cut back under the Spaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚniard at the apex.
That put them side-by-side again but with Bagnaia on the outside and unseen by Vinales, who moved acr﷽oss to take the optimum racing line for the exit of the chicane.

After initial contact, Vinales lost control of his RS-GP and slammed into Bagnaia for a second time, knocking the Ducati rider to the ground bꦯefore also falling in the gravel.
Vinales then ran over to coꦆnfront Bagnaia, shouting and jabbing at the Italian on his elbow and then helmet as he got to his feet. Bagnaia responded before the pair were separated by marshals.🌌 The pair soon calmed down and shared a scooter ride back to the pits.
Both were called to see the FIM Stewards but a decision on any punishments, for th🍸e collision or afterꦆmath, has yet to be announced.
“From my point of view, he overtook me very cleanly, but was a bit wide. I was on the inside, on my line a👍nd when he came back [across] he just tried to [have] his normal line. But I was there,” Bagnaia said.
“So maybe I could manage better and maybe I had to close the gas. Or maybe he 🔜had to consider that I was there.
“It was unlucky circumstances and one thing that makes me smi🥂le is that it hap༒pened from two of the most clean riders on the grid. So it can happen to everybody.”
Bagna🥃ia added: “No, [I’m] not angry with Maverick. I didn't like the reaction. It was a bit too aggressive, but when you have the tension, the adrenaline, it🌠 can happen.
“When you are hit by a rider or when you crash because you hit other r🌱iders, you are more angry because you feel another rider ruined your race.
“I consider this like 🌸unlucky circumstances. A racing incident, so I'm not angry with him.
“I was with the Stewards before and I asked to call Maverick because I think we have to improve on that and we have to speak with the two riders [together] that commit the mistakes. They have to speak with each other to share their point of vi💟ew.
“Like I was expecting, at the start me and him ꦕwere in the opposite way [points of view]. But when we finished the meeting, we were in the same point of view. So this is something that has to happen always. “
Bagnaജia’s third race accident of tܫhe season means his title lead has now been reduced to just one point over Sunday’s winner Marco Bezzecchi.
Peter🐼 has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injur﷽y issues.
