Double MotoGP world champion Pecco Bagnaia has hit back at Dorna\u2019s decision to release a documentary about the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix, claiming it \u201cdistorted\u201d the “roles” of some involved.<\/p>\n
Saturday at this year\u2019s Malaysian Grand Prix marked the 10th anniversary of the infamous Sepang clash between Valentino Rossi<\/a> and Marc Marquez<\/a>.<\/p>\n The incident between the pair came as a result of Rossi\u2019s claims that Marquez was trying to sabotage his championship hopes, after what he felt was suspicious tactics at the previous Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n The fallout from this event has continued to hang over MotoGP, with the 10th anniversary of it thrusting it back into the spotlight.<\/p>\n MotoGP\u2019s official website issued a documentary about that race, where it spoke to several riders involved and replayed footage from the grand prix.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n But Pecco Bagnaia<\/a>, who caught flak on social media for his reaction in the Yamaha garage to the clash between Rossi and Marquez at the time, feels the documentary was in poor taste.<\/p>\n He was also critical of the decision to release it on 23 October, which was the anniversary of Marco Simoncelli\u2019s death at Sepang in 2011.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my opinion, in many things riders have a sensitivity that those making certain decisions simply do not apply,\u201d he said at Sepang, having also been unhappy with MotoGP\u2019s decision to continue racing<\/a> in the wake of the horror Moto3 crash between Noah Dettwiler and Jose Antonio Rueda.<\/p>\n \u201cEven the idea of releasing the documentary, if you can call it that, on 2015, in my opinion, was not very good.<\/p>\n \u201cRoles were painted a little bit distorted. I don\u2019t want to get into that, but it wasn\u2019t appropriate.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially doing it on a day like Thursday, the anniversary of Sic [Marco Simoncelli\u2019s death].\u201d<\/p>\n
