MotoGP Round 5 in France: Crashes, Disputes, and Victories.
MotoGP points leader Pecco Bagnaia and rival Maverick Vinales have made peace after their crash at the French Grand Prix, despite a heated argument in the gravel trap. Vinales had lunged past Bagnaia for third place, but as he aggressively shifted his weight in preparation for taking a turn, he and Bagnaia made hard contact. Bagnaia went down hard after the second impact, while Vinales sped through the gravel, eventually forced to chuck the bike down with the wall approaching fast. The incident was placed under investigation, and Bagnaia asked the stewards to bring Vinales in for a discussion.
