**Title: Alex Marquez Denies Deliberate Collision in Aragon MotoGP Incident: “It’s Not in My DNA”**

Alex Marquez replies: "I would never intentionally collide with another rider."

Alex Marquez denies any claims that he 'intentionally' collided with Francesco Bagnaia, stating, 'It goes against my principles and the principles of this sport.'

Alex Marquez has issued a response after coming across certain comments following the collision with Francesco Bagnaia during Sunday’s Aragon MotoGP race.

The two riders were in a serious crash as Bagnaia tried to overtake the Gresini racer for third position, following an error by Marquez that caused him to go off course.

The FIM Stewards concluded that no additional measures were necessary because they found that neither rider was mainly at fault.

However, Marquez appears dissatisfied with Bagnaia's remarks implying that the Gresini rider maintained his throttle open instead of steering clear of a collision.

Bagnaia explained to MotoGP.com that upon entering the next corner, he could hear the other rider accelerating, indicating that they were attempting to make contact.

"I was interested in examining the data… He kept the throttle open at 60 percent and 40 percent right up until the moment of the crash. This behavior seems quite unusual for a rider, in my opinion."

Marquez shared a post on social media on Monday.

“Having reviewed several statements, I feel it is necessary to clarify the following points:

"I would never intentionally collide with another racer, and I refuse to be accused of such an act. This behavior goes against my principles and the essence of this sport."

"The key aspect for me is the discussion I had with Pecco yesterday, and as far as I'm concerned, the matter is resolved."

"Now I need to take some time off to rest and heal so I can be in peak condition for Misano."

Marquez and Bagnaia were lucky not to suffer major injuries and are set to return to racing at Misano this weekend.

Marc Marquez, Alex's brother and teammate, clinched victory in the Aragon race. However, Jorge Martin's second-place finish has extended his lead over Bagnaia to 23 points.
