**Alex Marquez Denounces Allegations of Deliberate Crash in Aragon MotoGP Incident with Bagnaia**

Alex Marquez replies: "I would never intentionally collide with another rider."

Alex Marquez dismisses any claims that he 'intentionally' collided with Francesco Bagnaia, stating, "It's not part of my nature, nor is it part of the nature of this sport."

Alex Marquez has issued a response after coming across various comments following his Aragon MotoGP incident with Francesco Bagnaia on Sunday.

The two racers collided in a serious accident as Bagnaia tried to overtake the Gresini competitor for third position, following Marquez's wide maneuver.

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 racer maintained acceleration instead of steering clear of a collision.

"When I got into corner 13, I could hear his engine revving up. He was accelerating, aiming for the collision," Bagnaia explained to MotoGP.com.

"I wanted to examine the data… He kept the throttle open at 60 percent, 40 percent of the time before the crash. This behavior is quite unusual for a rider, in my opinion."

Marquez shared a post on social media on Monday:

"Having reviewed various comments, I would like to clarify the following points:"

"I would never intentionally collide with another rider, and I will never agree to be accused of doing so. Such behavior goes against my principles and the very essence of this sport."

"The conversation I had with Pecco yesterday is what's most significant to me, and as far as I'm concerned, the matter is resolved."

"Now, I need to take some time to rest and rejuvenate so that I can be in top shape 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, Alex's brother and teammate, secured the victory at the Aragon race. Meanwhile, Jorge Martin's second-place finish has extended his lead over Bagnaia to 23 points.
