Marquez siblings narrowly avoid Ducati competitors in heart-stopping encounters

A couple of edge-of-your-seat incidents on Friday at Misano

The Marquez siblings found themselves involved in two narrow escapes during Friday's events at Misano.

Marc Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi were neck and neck throughout the practice session for the San Marino MotoGP.

VR46's Bezzecchi visibly rotated his head to give Gresini's Marquez a stern look, as Marquez made his move on the inside.

Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianini experienced a narrowly avoided collision.

Ducati's team member Bastianini seemed to express dissatisfaction by shaking his head when Marquez from Gresini overtook him.

Later on, Alex Marquez received a formal caution from the officials.

The instances, despite leading to no significant outcome, occurred amid a weekend marked by escalating stress levels at Ducati.

The collision that occurred in Aragon five days ago involving Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia sparked significant attention.

Bagnaia expressed regret for his initial accusation that Alex Marquez deliberately collided with him.

Marc Marquez emphasized that it was crucial for Bagnaia, who will be his teammate in the future, to offer an apology to his brother.

Ducati could face challenges in managing the aspirations of their eight competitors.

Marc Marquez has committed to the primary team for the upcoming season, while Jorge Martin, Bastianini, and Bezzecchi are aware that they will be leaving the brand.

Political maneuvering within Ducati could influence the outcome this weekend at Misano.

Bagnaia clocked the quickest time during the Friday practice sessions, overcoming the physical discomforts sustained at Aragon. Marc Marquez secured the second fastest time.
