Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident – yet, initially, it seemed they hadn't sustained serious injuries.

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

Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached to the front of Marquez's.

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.

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

He departed with his leathers ripped and worn on his arm, possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.

Bagnaia was taken to the medical center for an examination.

Half an hour after their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were observed strolling in the paddock area, no longer in their racing suits, and appeared to be without injuries.

Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Current MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia began Sunday three points behind the 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 victorious in the race.
