The in🅰cident was immediately put under investigation by the FIM Stewards, who then spoke to both ride𝐆rs separately after the race.
On Sunday evening, the Stewards announced their decision of 'no 𝄹further ac💦tion' by explaining:
'The incident between Bagnaia #1 and Marquez #73 on Lap 18 at Turn 13 was placed under investigation and reviewed after the Race.
‘The FIM MotoGP Stewards interviewed both riders and heard the explanation of the incident from both of their perspectives, and as well reviewed multiple broadcast and other available image sources and machine data.
‘During the hearing both riders explained that the grip levels off of the racing line were difficult, and in the Stewards opinion these were a contributing factor in this case of the riders ability to have choices to avoid contact.
‘The conclusion of the FIM MotoGP Stewards after taking all points into consideration, and with no conclusive evidential factor, is that neither rider was determined to be predominantly responsible for the incident.’
