Álex Márquez Harsh statement as he pretends to appreciate Apology from Bagnaia After Aragon GP Crash:

 

Álex Márquez, involved in the dramatic crash with Francesco Bagnaia at the MotoGP Aragon GP, has shared his thoughts on the incident and Bagnaia’s subsequent apology.

While Bagnaia had initially accused Márquez of causing the crash intentionally—an accusation made in the heat of the moment—he has since publicly apologized for his harsh words. However, for Márquez, the damage caused by the incident cannot be easily undone.

In a press conference, Márquez expressed his appreciation for Bagnaia’s apology but also highlighted the lasting impact the comments had on him, his team, and his image. “The fact that he apologized, I appreciate it and I’m really grateful for his words.

But it’s also true that the damage to my person, to my team, and also to my image has already been done,” Márquez remarked. Despite this, the Gresini rider emphasized his

desire to move on: “I want to close this chapter. I don’t want to speak anymore about it. We are coming off a really positive weekend in Aragon, and we’re looking forward to the next races.”

The crash, which occurred while the two were battling for third place just six laps from the finish, became a hot topic in the MotoGP world. Initially, Bagnaia’s accusations stirred controversy, but his apology has allowed for some reconciliation between the riders. Still, Márquez reiterated that while the apology is welcome, the effects of the incident have already been felt.

When asked about the attention surrounding the crash, Márquez was candid: “It depends on how you see it. As I said, the damage is already done. I think it’s not really good for the sport in general. But it’s already happened, and I don’t want to speak more about this chapter.”

With the upcoming races in mind, including an important home GP for the Gresini team, Márquez stressed the need to remain focused on their performance: “We need to be really focused from the beginning. We have important goals ahead, and that’s where our attention should be—on the track, where our job is.”

As Márquez prepares for the next challenge, his determination to leave the incident behind reflects his professionalism and focus on the bigger picture, both for himself and his team.
