Nakagami explained that he had been caught out🔯 by the slipstream behind Bagnaia, causing him to lose control under braking.

After falli♔ng, Nakagami’s helmet struck the Italian’s rear wheel with such force that it knocked the Ducati rider&nꦦbsp;down, while Rins was taken out by Nakagami’s sliding Honda.

The FIM Stewards declared it a ‘racing incident’ - somet𝐆hing a number of riders disagreed with - but Nakagami, who spent the night in hospital but has been passed fit to ride at the Sachsenring tomorrow, felt it was important to apologise for ‘destroying their races’ and leaving Rins with a broken wrist.

“I’m still not 100% recovered, but it’s just been confirmed that I’m fit to ride th♏is weekend and this is a miracle after that accident,” Nakagami said.

“This morning I🅷 apologised to Pecco and Alex, because after the race I had no chance to meet them because I𓆉 was in hospital. For me it's really important to apologise face to face.

“I explained t😼hat it was a totally my mistake and I apologised because I destroyed their races.”

Recalling what had happened going into turn one, Nakagami, who had made a strong start from twelfth, said: “I didn't mak🐟e any mistake on the braking point. The braking point was totally under control, but unfortunately I had quite a big slipstream behind Pecco that I didn't expect and then at the end I couldn't stop well.

“I couldn't avoid the crash. At𒁏 the la💫st moment I tried to stop the bike, but it was impossible. I locked the front, then I hit Pecco and Alex.

“So it was a nasty crash, of course, and at the end ꦉthis ♔is my mistake. So I explained everything, that it was my mistake, they accepted the apology and we shook hands. So that's it.”

Nakagami added that he would have accepted a penalty from the Stewards, who declined to punish the #30 on the grounds that he had braked '168澳洲5最新开奖结果:at a similar t๊ime to the riders around him'.

“ꦜIf I would get the penalty, I couldn't say anything because it was my mistake,” he said.

“Atღ the end the race stewards decided it was a race accident… Unfortunately I destroyed two riders’ races. If they changed their mind and I would get a pe🎶nalty, of course I would have accepted it.”

“The accident was from my mistake and I was not alone [on track] so I hit Pecco and Alex, and he got the injury. I'm really, really soꦆrry for him.”

Takaaki Nakagami: ‘I really appreciate being alive’

Fortunately for Nakagami, his Arai helmet soaked up much of the brutal𓃲 imp❀act with Bagnaia’s rear wheel.

“This morning I saw my helmet. It's really, really bad. I really, really, appreciate [being] alive because they [Arai] saved my life. And also I totally remember♐ everything. So yeah, it was super nasty, but the Arai helmet helped a lot.”

While he escap💦ed any serious head injuries and fractures, Nakagami will be riding sore this weekend in Germany.

“The shoulder is still really bad, I have no injury, no fracture, but a lot of inflammation and some liquid inside the joint,” he said. “I don't know if the riding positi🌸on is comfortable or not.

“But this track has only two hard braking points, turn 1 and after the downhill, all the rest it's quit𝔍e easy from the physical side.”
