An accident at the start is destined to rewrite the history of the season. For the French World Champion, bruises on the chest and a very heavy zero. Marquez with the damaged bike also knocks down Nakagami (unharmed) and then retires
A few seconds after the Aragon traffic lights went out, the world changed. The championship has been overturned. While Pecco Bagnaia sprinted off from pole, resisting his partner Jack Miller, in the rear Fabio Quartararo, who started not at his best, crashes Marc Marquez at turn 3. The French World Champion slides on the asphalt, his Yamaha bounces, pure luck doesn’t hit him. When Fabio opens his suit, you will see the bruises on his chest. He is fine, thankfully. But his escape in the standings is no longer such: the championship will start again for him, practically from scratch, from Japan.

Five corners after Marquez, with his damaged Honda (a piece of Quartararo’s bike slipped into the swingarm of the bike), swerves, hits Takaaki Nakagami. And the Japanese also ends up on the ground, in the middle of the corner: with a succession of riders able to dodge him. Another half miracle. In fact, the Spaniard retires. Shortly after he will go to apologize in Cecchinello’s pits and to make sure of Taka’s conditions, which are good, thank goodness. While Quartararo’s manager, accompanying his client to the medical center on a scooter, runs over a race commissioner. And he too ends up in the infirmary.

Marc Marquez then told it to Sky’s microphones: “My rear was cold and I lost the bike a bit, I think Quartararo was attached to me and touched me as he fell. In the impact a piece of the bike’s lowering device di Fabio got stuck on my tire and so at the next corner I lost the bike and caused Nakagami to crash. Luckily no one got hurt, I’m also sorry for the commissioner hit by Fabio’s manager. “
