Bagnaia and Marquez were seen exchanging heated gestures in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it appeared they hadn't suffered serious injuries.

With six laps to go, Marquez drifted off course while trying to hold onto third place.

Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted a pass.

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely trailing right behind Marquez's front.

The two bicycles became entangled and veered off the path.

For a few moments, Bagnaia found himself trapped under Marquez's Ducati during their slide.

However, he stood up and motioned towards Marquez, indicating that he was fine.

He left with his leathers ripped and worn on his arm, perhaps lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia visited the health facility for an examination.

Less than half an hour after their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen strolling through the paddock, no longer in their racing suits, and appearing to be without injuries.

Stewards are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.

Defending MotoGP champion Bagnaia began Sunday three points behind the current championship frontrunner, Jorge Martin.

Securing the second-place position in Sunday's Aragon MotoGP, Martin has now taken the championship lead with a 23-point advantage.

Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
