Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it appeared they had not sustained significant injuries.

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

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

It appeared as though the rear end of Bagnaia's Ducati was firmly attached to the front end of Marquez's bike.

The two bicycles became entangled as they 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 he was fine.

He left with his leather garments ripped and marred on his arm, but possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia visited the health facility for an examination.

Within half an hour following their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen strolling through the paddock area, no longer in their racing suits, and appearing to be without injury.

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Heading into Sunday's race, MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia was three points behind the current championship frontrunner, Jorge Martin.

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

Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
