The Ducati strongman is the latest big name in the MotoGP world to take on the actions of Marc Marquez last Sunday during the Portuguese Grand Prix. To the Spanish newspaper Marca, Claudio Domenicali left a scathing criticism of the Honda racer, calling it a “disaster”. In the same interview, Domenicali spoke about the results of the weekend for Ducati and said he was pleased with the triumph of Francesco Bagnai.
“It was the perfect start for Pecco. A little bitter aftertaste from Enea. [Bastianini] and also Jorge Martin, because both were, I won’t say they were unlucky, but other riders interfered with them. Luca Marini made Aeneas fall, and he was to blame. It wasn’t even authorized. For me it’s not fair, because when a rider hurts another, he should be punished. And on Sunday, Marc Marquez had a disaster. Sharply spoiled the race Miguel Oliveira, who was a home hero. All the fans were for him. After that they got very noisy…” Ducati CEO recalls.
At the Portuguese Grand Prix, it should be noted that the official Ducati team lost Enea Bastianini at least on the round in Argentina due to an accident in the sprint race. Jorge Martin also withdrew as a (secondary) consequence of the accident between Marquez and Oliveira.
