Un infortunio a una mano e un doppio long lap penalty da scontare al prossimo GP che disputerà: questo il conto presentato a Marc Marquez
(Repsol Honda Team) dopo l’incidente in cui, al terzo giro del GP del Portogallo, nella staccata della curva 3 è entrato in contatto con Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) e ha poi colpito Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team): lo spagnolo della Honda e il pilota di casa, in sella all’Aprilia, sono finiti entrambi a terra. I commissari hanno inflitto allo spagnolo una penalizzazione da scontare il prossimo fine settimana in Argentina, sempre che l’otto volte iridato sia della partita. La causa: guida irresponsabile, contraria al regolamento. Il bollettino medico parla di una possibile frattura al primo metacarpo della mano destra. Per Oliveira una contusione alla gamba destra.
Marc Marquez: “First of all I want to say that I am very sorry to Oliveira, his team and the Portuguese fans because it was his race. I did a really big mistake today, of course it was not my intention to have this happen, my intention was not even to overtake Martin at that point, but I had a massive lock with the front. Maybe the hard front was not fully up to temperature, I released the brakes and the bike went inside. I avoided Martin but made contact with Oliveira. I straight away went over to Miguel and then in the medical centre I went to check on him – fortunately it looks like he is OK and this is the most important thing. On my side I have some pain in my right hand and with my knee but this is not so important at the minute. I fully accept and respect the penalty of the double long-lap during the Argentina GP because I did a mistake.”
