Bezzecchi Blasts Marquez After Valencia Collision M arco Bezzecchi has torn into Marc Marquez following their collision at the season-ending Valencian MotoGP. Marquez touched the left rear of Bezzecchi's Ducati at turn three on the opening lap of the Sunday GP and sent the Italian careening into the gravel trap, with Bezzecchi labeling Marquez "the dirtiest rider in MotoGP." "Marquez decided to end my race in the third corner," Bezzecchi told Spanish news site DAZN. "He did the same thing he did to me in Thai - land. He hit me on the back. The problem is that this time, he hit me much harder, and I hurt my shoulders and on my left foot. His style doesn't deserve much explanation. "They decided not to show the replay because the action was very dirty. It's Marquez, so no one can touch him. They investigate, but they don't do anything. The stewards never touch Marc. He is the dirtiest rider in MotoGP." Bezzecchi even went to Marquez's motorhome to demand an explanation for the accident but walked away unsatisfied with Marquez's answer. "I asked him why he decided to throw me, and, as always, he pretended that he had not seen me," Bezzecchi said. "But with the blow he gave me, it is really, really difficult for him not to have seen me." CN WIND IN THE P32 Marco Bezzecchi was left very unimpressed with Marc Marquez's tactics in Valencia.
