JAKARTA - Paramac Racing racer Johann Zarco also commented on the incident involving Marc Marquez, Fabio Quartararo and Takaaki Nakagami in MotoGP Aragon, Sunday, September 18. Zarco said Marquez, who was the main cause of the accident, was just looking for excuses and excessive.
The incident that occurred on the first lap of the Aragon MotoGP made Quartararo and Nakagami suffer a major accident. Meanwhile, Marquez had to end the race faster because his motorbike had problems due to the incident.
The incident with Quartararo began when Marquez experienced a rear tire slip at Turn 3. This situation made Marquez's speed drop drastically.
Quartararo who was behind it could not dodge and caused an unavoidable collision until Eljuk crashed.
Not only that, Marquez, who did not realize that Quartararo's motorbike winglet was broken and stuck behind his motorbike, became a disaster for other riders.
When dueling with Nakagami at Turn 8, another collision occurred because his rear ride weight device did not work and made Nakagami fall.
Despite seeing Quartararo's winglet caught behind Marquez's motorbike, Zarco said it was just Marquez's reason not to blame.
"That's just the way Marc is looking for an excuse, so he doesn't blame him. Fairing Fabio does affect it. However, I saw when Marc's rear tire slipped, and he continued his way of driving, heighting the risk," Zarco was quoted as saying by GPOne.
"Marc didn't hear any damage until Turn 7, and maybe there's a new rear ride height device problem. We have different views. Maybe it's because he's stronger than me, so his words are more valuable," Zarco said.
Zarco admitted that he was also affected by the incident. He had to travel to avoid Fabio falling on the asphalt.
"I immediately saw fairing Fabio's cut stuck on Marc's motorbike, and that's why I slipped the rear tire at Turn 5 so that Jorge overtook it," he vented.
"I also saw Taka ( Takaaki Nakagami) accident. He is at risk of being hit by several other riders. Marc is a bit too much, even though I like his racing style."
"He's one of the fastest riders, and I said this to him on Thursday. However, such maneuvers, especially because it involves Fabio, may be excessive," he said.
Unlike Zarco, both Monster Energy Yamaha and LCR Honda Idemitsu did not blame Marquez. Even the two riders and both teams agreed that the accident was just an ordinary racing incident, which could happen on the first lap
