Bagnaia and Marquez were seen making angry gestures towards each other in the gravel following the incident, but it appeared at first sight that they had not sustained any serious injuries.

Marquez drifted off course while trying to hold onto third place, with six laps left in the race.

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

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely trailing right behind 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 while they were skidding.

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

He departed, his arm's leathers ripped and marred, yet perhaps lucky that the injury wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia was taken to the health facility for an examination.

Half an hour after their incident occurred, Bagnaia and Marquez were observed in the paddock area, no longer wearing their racing suits, and appeared to be unharmed.

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Defending MotoGP champion 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, with a 23-point lead.

Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
