Enea Bastianini retired from Le Mans with a penalty, but did not admit guilt in the collision with Pecco Bagnaia. Pecco sent 10 shocking words to his former teammates

The fallout from the chaotic French Grand Prix continues, with Enea Bastianini retiring from the race after serving a penalty for his involvement in a first-lap collision with former Ducati teammate Pecco Bagnaia. Despite the penalty, Bastianini reportedly maintains his innocence in the incident, suggesting a differing perspective on the cause of the contact that took both riders out of contention early in the race.

Bastianini, now riding for KTM Tech3, seemingly believes Bagnaia was at fault, a stance that is likely to further inflame the already tense atmosphere following a weekend filled with drama. The Italian rider’s refusal to accept blame for the collision adds another layer of intrigue to the developing rivalry and raises questions about the lingering dynamics between the former Ducati teammates now competing for different manufacturers.

Adding his own fiery perspective to the incident, reigning World Champion Pecco Bagnaia reportedly sent a shocking ten-word message directed at his former Ducati colleagues following the race. While the exact phrasing remains closely guarded, sources suggest the message conveyed a strong sense of frustration and perhaps even betrayal, hinting at a perceived lack of support or understanding from his former team regarding the incident with Bastianini.

Bagnaia’s pointed message to his ex-teammates underscores the high stakes and intense emotions involved in MotoGP competition. The collision with Bastianini clearly had a significant impact on his race and championship aspirations, and his strong reaction suggests underlying tensions that may have been simmering beneath the surface. The MotoGP paddock will be watching closely to see how this fractured dynamic between former teammates and within the Ducati camp evolves in the races to come.
