MotoGP race winner Francesco Bagnaia was involved in a road accident in Spain and was found to have been over the legal alcohol limit. Here's everything we know:
According to reports in Spanish outlet Diario de Ibiza, Bagnaia crashed a Citroen into a ditch on the side of a road in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The Guardia Civil and local police arrived at the scene and performed a breathalyser test on the driver, who was identified as Bagnaia. Bagnaia gave a reading of 0.87mg/l, which is three times the legal alcohol level of 0.25mg/l allowed for drivers in Spain to get behind the wheel of a car.Ducati has since confirmed the Spanish media reports upon request from Autosport.
Bagnaia is now potentially facing a ban on his license, with this offence coming with a penalty of one to four years suspension from driving.This has come just two weeks after Bagnaia capped off the first half of the 2022 MotoGP season with victory at the Dutch Grand Prix.
It was Bagnaia’s third win of the season, following successes at his home race at Mugello and at the Spanish GP at Jerez.
