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 moments 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 called it "Just a racing incident."
  • Fernandez, who suffered a fractured finger, fumed that Bezzecchi's move "wasn't professional," saying they had agreed beforehand not to interfere despite both having pace ahead of rivals.
  • Although declared fit to ride, Fernandez remained uncertain about Sunday's race due to his swollen hand, while FIM stewards ruled the collision a racing incident despite Trackhouse boss Davide Brivio blaming Marquez and Jorge Martin.
  • Bezzecchi remained third in the MotoGP World Championship, though the crash left him 59 points behind new leader Marquez, effectively ending both riders' podium hopes at Mandalika.
