Bagnaia and Marquez were seen making angry gestures towards each other in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it appeared they hadn't sustained serious injuries.

Marquez veered off track, while holding onto third place, with just six laps to go.

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

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be glued to 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 leathers ripped and worn on his arm, possibly lucky that the harm hadn't been more severe.

Bagnaia visited the medical 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 appeared to be unharmed.

Authorities are conducting an inquiry into the event.

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 into the championship lead with a 23-point advantage.

Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
