Game over for as he encounters on his way! 😱
The incident is under investigation ⚠️ 🇩🇪
Bradl was hit by a three-place grid penalty for 'riding slow online and disturbing ওa🅰nother rider #93 at Turn 2'.
His attempt to apologisꦛe moments later was met with a shrug from an annoyed Marquez.
But Marquez later told :&n𝓰bsp;"I have told the team, there is no need to sanction h🐲im, he is already behind.
“Heꦍ didn't do it intentionally, and then he came to apologise
“this happens, it is a very small circuit."
Marquez added: "I had a problem with the⭕ bike in the previous start and I couldn't trust what it would do.”
Bradl is Honda’s test rid🤪er and is racing as a wildca𒆙rd.
Marquez, even before his clash with Bradl in qualifying, was experieℱn♔ced a nightmare round.
A crash on Friday left him with a broken finger and pain in his ribs⛦, although he escaped a more serious injury.
Nevertheless, he impressively recovered from 13th to sixtꦇh in Saturday’s sp🐠rint.
On Sunday with a longer race, it remains to be seen how🥀 Marquez’s physical state holds up.
