Either way, the impact sent Bautista to the ground, while Rossi speared off track before also falling and then slamming into a proꦏtective tyꦺre barrier. Both riders were able to walk away.

"Unfortunately in turn three I made contact with Valentino and we both crashed out of a race thatཧ was very important for both of us," said Bautista, whose Gresini Honda team is based in Italy. "Valentino and I have watched the inciden𒁏t back together in Race Direction and it was just a racing incident that leaves us both with a bitter taste in the mouth but neither of us is to blame.

"I was on the inside and it is very difficult to see a rider on the outside from there. He was taking a slightl💧y different line and that's why we came together when we changed direction. I didn't see him. I just felt his bike hitting me. It's a shame because I felt good on the bike. 🐎These things happen but we have to forget about it and try to think about the next race."

Race Direction agree♌d with Bautista an♔d no further action will be taken.
