Raúl Fernández accuses Marco Bezzecchi of collision at Indonesian GP

Tensions flared during the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix at the Mandalika Circuit following a collision between Raúl Fernández and Marco Bezzecchi during the Sprint race. Fernández, who secured pole position, accused Bezzecchi of unprofessional and deliberate maneuvers that forced him off the track and into the kerbs.

The incident resulted in a crash for both Aprilia riders. Fernández reported suffering a fractured or fissured finger on his right hand, leaving his participation in the main Sunday race uncertain. He expressed significant frustration, stating that Bezzecchi focused solely on pushing him out of the way rather than racing cleanly.

Bezzecchi defended his actions, characterizing the collision as a standard racing incident. He claimed he was attempting to position himself for braking while avoiding Marc Márquez and suggested that Fernández may have made contact with him. The dispute highlights the intense competition among the Aprilia riders following Fernández's impressive qualifying performance.
