Fabio Quartararo thinks Taka Nakagami was 'kamikaze' in their Argentine skirmish. The LCR Honda rider disagrees...⬇️
The LCR Honda rider was trying to pass Quartararo for 10th on the opening lap of Sunday’s rain-hit grand prix at Rio Hondo when he went into a corner hot and made contact with the Yamaha.
The incident was placed under investigation by the FIM stewards, but they deemed no further action was necessary. “He [Sasaki] got dropped one position and he [Nakagami] just destroyed my race in one corner and didn’t get anything.”Nakagami has defended himself, saying he did nothing over the line in the clash – though he concedes he was “overshooting” the corner when he went for the overtake.
“But honestly, at that moment I thought I could overtake. But I was slightly overshooting and missing the apex.
