Marc Marquez responds to displaying frustration towards Stefan Bradl during qualifying

Marc Marquez shares his opinion on the penalty given to Stefan Bradl

Marc Marquez experienced a tough time at the Sachsenring, which featured an irritated sign directed at Stefan Bradl during Saturday's qualifying session.

Marquez will have to begin the German MotoGP from the 13th position, partly because of an event involving Bradl.

Marquez had to abandon his lap, which was his final opportunity to qualify for Q2, due to Bradl moving slowly.

LAP DISRUPTED ❌ It's the end of the race for @marcmarquez93 after he collides with @stefanbradl! 😱The authorities are currently looking into the incident ⚠️#GermanGP 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/Mtqu0FatAS— MotoGP™🏁 (@MotoGP) July 6, 2024

Bradl received a penalty that will drop him three positions on the starting grid for riding slowly on the track and disrupting rider #93 at Turn 2.

His effort to say sorry a few moments afterward was greeted by an irritated Marquez with a shrug.

However, Marquez later stated to DAZN, "I have informed the team that there is no need for any penalties since he is already trailing."

"He didn't mean to do it, and afterward, he came to say sorry."

"This occurs because it is a very compact circuit."

Marquez stated: "During the earlier start, I encountered an issue with the bike and couldn't rely on its performance."

Bradl serves as a test rider for Honda and is participating in races as a wildcard entry.

Prior to his collision with Bradl during the qualifying session, Marquez was already enduring a disastrous round.

A collision on Friday resulted in a broken finger and rib pain for him, though he avoided a more severe injury.

However, he made an impressive comeback from 13th place to finish sixth in Saturday’s sprint.

It is uncertain how Marquez's physical condition will fare during the extended race on Sunday.
