Raul Fernandez slams "unprofessional" Marco Bezzecchi after dramatic Indonesia crash

MotoGP photo Raul Fernandez has severely criticized Marco Bezzecchi following a crash during the MotoGP sprint at Mandalika. The incident occurred as both riders approached the first braking zone. Fernandez, who secured his first pole position, found himself on the ground with a fractured finger, uncertain if he would be able to compete in Sunday's race.

Bezzecchi, the factory Aprilia rider, was accused of deliberately causing the crash. As they both leaned into the right-hand turn, the so-called accordion effect caused Bezzecchi to suddenly lose grip, leading to a collision between the two RS-GPs. The Spaniard expressed his anger, stating that the worst part was the frustration of knowing his teammate had done something he shouldn't have done, potentially giving two Ducatis an advantage.

Fernandez acknowledged that a meeting took place beforehand, during which he had communicated his strategy. He expressed disappointment for both his team and Aprilia, emphasizing that Bezzecchi's actions were unprofessional.
