Following the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen exchanging heated gestures in the gravel, though it appeared they both escaped serious harm at first sight.

Marquez drifted to the outside, holding onto third place with six laps left to go.

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

The rear end of Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached to the front of Marquez's bike.

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 moved off, the leather on his arm ripped and worn, but maybe lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia was taken to the health facility for an examination.

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

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Heading into Sunday's race, the current MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia was three points behind the lead in the championship, held by Jorge

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

Marc Marquez clinched victory in the race.
