Marquez frustrated over Ianonne incident in Misano MotoGP practice

As riders were making practice starts as normal after the chequered flag, Iannone stopped behind Marquez and made contact with the Honda's rear wheel.

Marquez, whose practice start was ruined as a result, was visibly annoyed with the Suzuki rider after the incident.

"I was a little bit angry because I lost my practice start," said Marquez.

"Maybe he was too excited... I think he was P9, going for Q2, home race.

"Maybe he wanted to play but I don't want to play now, I want to fight for the championship.

"The practice start is important because you need to adjust the torque, you need to adjust all these things.

"I went out with the bike just to practice the start but OK, it was not the time.

"With Iannone always we play a little bit but now I don't want to play because I want to concentrate on the championship."

When asked for his viewpoint on the incident, Iannone said he expected Marquez to move slightly earlier.

"Marc tried the start, I arrived [behind him], I thought Marc was starting very soon," said Iannone.

"So I waited a little bit and then I touched him at the last moment."
