Marc Marquez apologized to Alex Rins for the incident that impacted Rins’s Indonesian Grand Prix sprint. Marquez’s lunge at Rins for fifth place at Turn 4 on the opening lap resulted in contact that took Rins out of the points and Marquez down to seventh. Despite a long-lap penalty, Marquez managed to recover to sixth place, while Rins finished 12th after starting fourth, which was his best this season. Rins, upon reviewing the incident, was understanding, stating that such occurrences are part of racing. Marquez admitted his mistake, citing a combination of factors that led to the incident and showing respect for the subsequent penalty he received. Rins was also involved in another incident that led to Enea Bastianini’s crash, with both riders involved but with no accusations made.
In a separate incident, VR46 rider Fabio Di Giannantonio expressed frustration over his team-mate Franco Morbidelli’s actions during the race, feeling that Morbidelli’s maneuvers compromised his race. This incident added to existing tensions between the two riders following previous clashes earlier in the season.
