Bastianini has revealed that Marquez visited him to apologise for their strange incident in DutchGP qualifying. MotoGP
The Italian wasn’t angry about the incident in Q1, which took place well off the racing line, where Bastianini was trying to stay out of the way after aborting his lap due to a mistake.
Bastianini revealed that the Spaniard had sought him out to apologise following the accident, which resulted in Marquez falling. Bastianini managed to remain in the saddle, but could only qualify 18th."Then at Turn 4 I saw the other riders coming from behind and I made space [for them]. I was on the outside, and Marc was with me.'Marquez, who walked away from the crash, qualified 17th and ended the sprint race in the same position.
This explained his going against the grain by taking a soft front tyre for the sprint, an option he admitted wasn’t as quick but one which gave him maximum feedback. "I’ve had that situation a thousand times. But this time, when I was looking behind me to make sure I wouldn't disturb the other riders, Enea [backed off] and I didn’t see.”Meanwhile Bastianini, who is on the comeback trail following a lengthy lay-off due to injuries sustained at the season’s opening round in Portugal, was upbeat following an eighth-place finish in the sprint despite admitting to feeling"destroyed" and suffering with shoulder pain.
