Chills in Aragon right at the start of the MotoGP race. Bad accidents for Fabio Quartararo and Takaaki Nakagami, involuntarily hit by Marc Marquez.
A thrilling weekend for the World Cup MotoGP in Aragon. This time in the true sense of the term, as the race started with a double scare due to two accidents. Fabio Quartararo And Takaaki Nakagami they literally flew after two separate contacts with Marc Marquez, immediately in difficulty and therefore innocent protagonist. Fortunately, the Frenchman from Yamaha and the LCR rider were avoided by colleagues ready for reflexes, otherwise it could have ended much worse … Un ugly zero for the reigning champion given the triumph of rival Bagnaia, while Nakagami is likely to miss the Home GPscheduled in a few days!
Quartararo, what bad luck
His run barely lasted three curves. At that point Marc Marquez slightly lost control of the rear of his Honda, Fabio Quartararo who followed him hit him in full. The 2021 MotoGP world champion is literally flewto then land heavily on the asphalt and with the open suit, while the other pilots thought only to avoid it. The images speak for themselves …
An extremely costly Sunday for @ FabioQ20‘s world championship hopes! 💥
Luckily, Fabio escaped any serious injuries and he’ll be back fighting once again next weekend! 🙌#AragonGP 🏁 pic.twitter.com/texxuflvXE

Over here? Absolutely not: the commissioner who was taking him back to the box in scooter had another accident! Double bang for poor Quartararo, the good news is that he only suffered a few bruises on his chest. One heavy zerobut he doesn’t lack sarcasm. “Enea Bastianini was very good!” he said laughing. In fact, the Gresini rider won today by blowing 5 points to Pecco Bagnaia, Quartararo’s direct rival. Ducati against Ducati, therefore without any team order. Now Bagnaia is only 10 points behind the French home champion Yamaha, who knows if those points will be determinants for the championship …
Nakagami, woe to a hand
Marquez-Quartararo was the first scary episode of the Grand Prix at Aragon. But it only took a few seconds to another scary moment, this time all at Honda. But first that is a background: the contact meant that a piece of Quartararo’s M1 was fit together in Marquez’s bike! Upon operating the lowering, the # 93’s RC-V locked in that position and the pilot lost control slightly. Here is the result …
A scary moment for @ takanakagami30 after contact with @ marcmarquez93! 😮

The innocent Takaaki Nakagami he was so hit and flew to the ground. What a risk to avoid it, luckily all the other MotoGP riders have succeeded! But unfortunately the pilot is not immune to consequences: his right hand she is bandaged tightly, other tests are needed to rule out fractures. But the innocent Japanese is likely to jump his GP at Motegi, scheduled for next weekend! It would be a real misfortune.
