Following the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen making angry gestures towards each other while in the gravel, but it appeared at initial observation that they had not sustained significant injuries.

Marquez veered off course while holding onto third place, with just six laps left.

Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted to pass him.

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached to the front of Marquez's motorcycle.

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, possibly 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 area, no longer in their racing suits, and appearing to be without injuries.

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Defending MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia started Sunday three points behind the current championship frontrunner, Jorge Martin.

Martin's second-place finish at the Aragon MotoGP on Sunday has propelled him to the top of the championship standings, now holding a 23-point lead.

Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
