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

Marquez veered off course, while trying to keep his third-place spot, with just six laps left

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

It appeared as though the rear of Bagnaia's Ducati was firmly 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 pinned under Marquez's Ducati during their slide.

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

He moved off, his arm covered in leather that was ripped and worn, yet possibly lucky that the injuries weren't more severe.

Bagnaia visited the healthcare facility for an examination.

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

Stewards are currently looking into the incident.

Entering Sunday's race, current MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia was three points behind the leader of the championship, Jorge Martin.

Finishing in second place during Sunday's Aragon MotoGP, Martin has now surged ahead in the championship standings, holding a 23-point lead.

Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
