Beyond likes and dislikes, motorcycling fans want an open, close and emotional world championship, and many of the eyes this season were on Pecco Bagnaia, one of the great favorites with his Ducati.
However, the Italian is not having an easy season between mistakes and problems, and this Sunday at the Sachsenring he suffered another tremendous setback that really also meant a jug of cold water for MotoGP fans.
After taking pole on Saturday and losing the lead to Fabio Quartararo at the start, he crashed at the start of lap 4 while chasing the race and world leader, when he lost the rear of his GP22. Beyond the fall, which left him out, his images lamenting, indignant and surprised in equal parts spread like wildfire, and here we have compiled the accident and his reaction.

Before the media, including Motorsport.com, Pecco showed his disbelief at the fall that leaves him 91 points behind Quartararo after another victory for the Frenchman.
“I am trying to replay in my mind what happened and there is nothing that can explain my fall,” he began. “I don’t know why it was. When I fall it’s because I made a mistake, and I accept it, but in this situation, it’s very difficult to know why, to understand why.”
“Looking at the data, it’s impossible to understand things. So I was angry because I can’t explain it, I’m very angry because when you fall and you know why, I’m usually very self-critical. But today I can’t be, because the reason why I crashed is something I can’t explain, so it’s harder to accept.”
In fact, Pecco Bagnaia revealed that he had only suffered a fall like this Sunday at the Valentino Rossi Ranch: “I had never fallen like this in my life, only at the ranch, where we shot on the dirt track, so it’s easier for it to happen.”
“But it’s very difficult to know why. My lean angle was the same as every lap, the speed was the same. I was turning more for the start, so it’s very difficult to understand why I crashed.
“So it’s the hardest thing at the moment, because maybe our bike lives in a margin like this where, if you go wide, you fall.”
“But my crash was very, very borderline, I think.”
