The Ducati Lenovo Team completed a challenging Grand Prix of Indonesia at the Mandalika Circuit. Marc Márquez was involved in a crash triggered by another rider, while Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of the encounter during lap eight.

Márquez had enjoyed a good start from row three as he entered turn one in sixth place. At turn seven, he was struck by Bezzecchi and crashed heavily. Marc will return to Spain to undergo further medical checks. Bagnaia, from sixteenth place on the grid, lost the front at the last corner during lap eight.

As the eighteenth Grand Prix of the season draws to a close, Marc Márquez, already crowned MotoGP World Champion, now holds a tally of 545 points. Francesco Bagnaia is third, 88 points behind the rider in second place, Alex Márquez. The Triple Crown is completed by the Teams’ Title secured by the Ducati Lenovo Team and the Constructors’ World Championship clinched by Ducati.

The Ducati Lenovo Team will be back in action on October 17th at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Australia for the fourth-last event of the season.

Marc Márquez (#93 Ducati Lenovo Team) – DNF
“I’m obviously sad because it’s again the right side – in this case, it appears to be the collarbone. Once back in Madrid, I’ll undergo further medical examinations to verify the real extent of the injury. This is racing, and these things can happen. Marco (Bezzecchi) came to apologise. I’ll try to return as soon as possible, while fully complying with the recovery process.”

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) – DNF
“It was a very disappointing weekend, especially considering how the previous one went. This has never been an easy track for me, although I’ve always achieved good results here in the past. I’d like to apologise to the team for the crash: I was pushing to try to bridge the gap with the riders ahead, despite the lack of feeling. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to change the momentum of this weekend, but I’m sure that by analysing the data, the engineers will find a solution for the next Grand Prix so I can battle for the top three in the Championship.”
