Marc Marquez Reacts to Nicolo Bulega’s Crash at Ducati Lenovo Race of Champions

Marc Marquez has addressed the incident involving Nicolo Bulega during the Ducati Lenovo Race of Champions at the Misano circuit, where Bulega crashed out as Marquez overtook him on the final lap.

The dramatic end of the race saw Bulega sliding into the gravel at the last turn, while Marquez secured a place on the podium behind winner Francesco Bagnaia and Andrea Iannone.

In the aftermath of the race, Marquez expressed his concerns and clarified the situation. “Too bad for the last lap, I felt Bulega crash,” Marquez told Sky Italia.

“I don’t know if there was contact or not, I haven’t heard much.” The uncertainty about the incident prompted Marquez

“I will go to Nicolo and give him the helmet I used in the race,” Marquez stated, as reported by Motosprint. “I want to ask him whether or not there was contact, since I didn’t perceive it. I only heard the sound of the motorbike scraping on the ground.

I don’t know if he braked more aggressively than usual to close the line. But in any case, races are races, and we also had confirmation at the start, where there was no shortage of chaos. Nicolo was having a good race and I hope he is physically fit.”

Marquez’s actions highlight the camaraderie and respect within the racing community, even in the heat of competition. As Marquez prepares for his first World Ducati Week appearance this weekend, he is also set for next season’s official team with Ducati, following a season filled with ups and downs.

With the MotoGP season resuming next weekend at Silverstone, Marquez trails Francesco Bagnaia by 56 points, with Bagnaia currently leading the standings.
