**Alex Marquez Denies Deliberate Crash Allegations Following Aragon MotoGP Collision with Bagnaia**

Alex Marquez denies accusations: "I would never intentionally collide with another rider"

Alex Marquez refutes claims that he 'intentionally' collided with Francesco Bagnaia, stating: 'It goes against my principles and the ethos of this sport'

Alex Marquez has issued a response after coming across certain comments following Sunday's Aragon MotoGP incident involving Francesco Bagnaia.

The duo were caught in a major crash as Bagnaia tried to overtake the Gresini racer for the third position, following Marquez's wide turn.

The FIM Stewards concluded that no additional measures were required because neither rider was found to be mainly at fault.

However, Marquez appears displeased with Bagnaia's remarks implying that the Gresini rider maintained acceleration instead of steering clear of a collision.

Bagnaia explained to MotoGP.com that he could hear the other rider accelerating as soon as he approached the next corner, indicating that the rider was attempting to make contact.

"I examined the data… He kept the throttle at 60 percent open and 40 percent closed right up until the crash. This behavior seems very unusual for a rider, in my opinion."

Marquez shared a post on social media on Monday:

"Upon reviewing several statements, I would like to clarify the following points:

"I would never intentionally collide with another rider and I completely reject any accusations of doing so. Such actions go against my principles and the very essence of this sport."

“What matters most to me is the discussion I had with Pecco yesterday, and as far as I’m concerned, the matter is resolved.”

"Now I need to take some time to relax and rejuvenate so I can be in peak condition for Misano."

Marquez and Bagnaia were lucky to escape without major injuries and are set to return to the track at Misano this weekend.

Marc Marquez, who is Alex's teammate and brother, claimed victory in the Aragon race. However, Jorge Martin secured second place, extending his lead over Bagnaia to 23 points.
