On Saturday, Marc Marquez once again demonstrated his integrity and sportsmanship. The eight-time world champion faced a challenging situation right from the start of the race during the Grand Prix in Barcelona. In the opening laps, Marquez attempted to overtake Pedro Acosta and collided with the young KTM rookie at the second turn. Unfortunately for Acosta, he had to retire from the race due to the incident, while Marquez was able to continue running his race.
Marquez Takes Responsibility
After the race, Pedro Acosta expressed his frustrations, stating that he felt powerless to evade the collision with his fellow compatriot. Marc Marquez echoed Acosta’s sentiments, taking full accountability for the incident in an interview with Motorsport. He stated, “I always strive to be honest in these circumstances. The contact was an unfortunate racing incident. If anyone could have done something to avoid it, it was me; Acosta clearly couldn’t see me. We talked afterward, and he mentioned that he didn’t see me coming, similar to something that occurred with Augusto Fernandez the day before.”
Race Outcome for Marquez
Despite Acosta’s early exit due to a damaged fairing, Marquez managed to salvage his race, as his motorcycle remained intact following the collision. However, he faced significant difficulties in making up ground against his competitors and ultimately finished in seventh place. This result positioned him noticeably behind the leading trio, preventing a more favorable standing in the overall league.
