Following the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen exchanging heated gestures in the gravel, but it appeared, upon initial assessment, that they had not sustained serious injuries.

Marquez veered off course, holding onto third place with six laps to go.

Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia made an attempt to pass him.

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely tailing Marquez's front end.

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 leather garments ripped and worn on his arm, yet possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia was taken to the health facility for an examination.

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

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Defending MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia began 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 secured victory in the race.
