A new MotoG🦩P documentary has revealed a heated exchange between Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia following their 2024 Portuguese Grand Pr🐼ix clash.

The pair, who will be team-mates this year at the factory Ducati squad, wereꦰ battling for positioܫn in the closing stages of last year’s Sunday race at Portimao.

Marquez lunged up the inside and ran slightly wide, with the pair colliding as their lines converged in the middle of Turn 5 - leading to ꦕthe pair crashing.

The 🍸clash was deemed a racing incident by the♔ stewards.

A new documentary from the official MotoGP website entitled ‘There Can Be Only One’ has shown a behind-the-scenes exchange between Marquez and Bagnaia as🅷 they stooꦫd outside of the stewards’ office in Portugal.

Marquez began by saying: “At the point you know that if you open the 🧜throttle, the contact will come and the one on the outside crasꦑhes.”

Bagnaia responds: “Depends on how the rider on the outside reacts. Maybe, in your head, you would have d𓄧one it that way, to w🦹hich Marquez replies “Now we’ll look at the data.”

“Marc, when yo🐟u go wide, you know perfec🐻tly well there’s another rider on the inside. You know that,” Bagnaia adds.

“So, it’s my fault,” Marqꦫuez says, before Bagnaia counters: “No, I’m not saying that!”

Marquez stands firm t𝔉hat he doesn’t 𒉰believe he is at fault, noting “I didn’t close the line”.

Bagnaia says “it’s neither your fault nor minꦿe”, with Marquez concluding as his rival is ushered back into the stewards room: “This is the problem. It’s not your fault or mine, but we both crashed. For me, it was difficult to avoid this. Don’t worry, I won’t make a sh꧒ow out of it.”

When Marquez spoke to the media after this, he laid the blame at Bagnaia’s door,ꦕ while theꦜ latter branded it a racing incident.

In a recent interview conducted by Ducati at the team’s 2025 launch event, when the Portugal clash was brought up, Bagnaia pointed out that the points he lost꧑ in the incident would led to him winning the championship.
