Fernandez Slams "Unprofessional" Bezzecchi After Crash in Indonesian GP Sprint
Fernandez said Bezzecchi was not professional after the Turn 1 collision ended both sprints and left him with a fractured finger.
- On Saturday, Trackhouse Aprilia rider Raul Fernandez and Marco Bezzecchi crashed at Turn 1 during the Indonesian MotoGP Sprint, ending Fernandez's race immediately after he secured his maiden pole position.
- Ducatis ridden by Marc Marquez and Fabio di Giannantonio dive-bombed the braking zone, forcing Bezzecchi to check up and collide with Fernandez; Bezzecchi insisted, "Just a racing incident."
- Fernandez, who suffered a fractured finger, declared, "The fury, the anger I have inside me outweighs the pain." He criticized Bezzecchi's move as "wasn't professional."
- Although declared fit to ride, Fernandez remains uncertain about Sunday's race due to his swollen hand, while FIM stewards deemed the collision a racing incident despite Trackhouse boss Davide Brivio blaming Marquez and Jorge Martin.
- Bezzecchi remains third in the MotoGP World Championship, though the crash cost him points, leaving him 59 points behind new leader Marquez and ending both riders' podium hopes.
