Jorge Martin Angrily Accuses Pecco Bagnaia of Cheating in His Race Against Teammate Franco Morbidelli Without Facing Penalty from FIM

MotoGP rider Jorge Martin has publicly lashed out at reigning champion Pecco Bagnaia, accusing him of cheating during a crucial race against Franco Morbidelli, Bagnaia’s teammate. Martin’s accusations, made after the race, have sent ripples through the paddock, with fans and riders alike questioning why Bagnaia has not faced any penalty from the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).

The incident occurred during a tense and closely fought battle in the latest Grand Prix, where Bagnaia was racing alongside Morbidelli. According to Martin, Bagnaia’s tactics during the race were questionable, and he believes the reigning champion received unfair advantages due to his close association with Morbidelli and their shared team resources. “It was clear to everyone watching that something wasn’t right. Pecco was getting away with moves that should’ve been penalized,” Martin vented in a post-race interview.

The frustration from Martin stems from what he perceives as a failure by FIM officials to take action against Bagnaia for his racing conduct. “I don’t understand how this can happen without any consequences. If it was anyone else, they would’ve faced a penalty,” Martin added, referencing the strict rules that govern rider conduct in MotoGP.

Bagnaia, for his part, has dismissed the accusations, insisting that his race against Morbidelli was fair and within the regulations. “I have a lot of respect for Jorge, but I did nothing wrong. Racing with Franco was tough, but we both fought cleanly,” Bagnaia said in response to Martin’s claims.

FIM officials have so far remained silent on the matter, choosing not to open an investigation into Bagnaia’s actions during the race, a decision that has only fueled the controversy further. Many fans and analysts are now calling on FIM to review the footage to ensure that no rules were violated and that the integrity of the sport remains intact.

This latest accusation adds more tension to an already heated MotoGP season, where the battle for the championship is fierce, and every point matters. Jorge Martin, currently a top contender, has been vocal about his frustrations with what he perceives as inconsistent rule enforcement.

As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the upcoming races to see whether FIM will take action or if the rivalry between Martin and Bagnaia will continue to intensify without official intervention.
