Bagnaia, victim of a traffic accident in Ibiza

At the end of the day, the Spanish site Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera reported that Francesco Bagnaia was the victim of a traffic accident on Tuesday very early in the night on the road to Ses Salines.

As soon as they arrived on the scene, the police gave him an alcohol test, which turned out to be positive. Still according to the Iberian media, the test result was 0,87 g/L; the limit being set at 0.5 g/L in Spain.

The main person reacted on his social networks during the evening. The Italian made his mea culpa and clarified that there were no victims. “Last night I was in Ibiza with my friends at a break party MotoGP. We celebrated and toasted together for my victory at the Dutch GP. Leaving the nightclub around 3am, I found myself facing a roundabout when I ended up with my front wheels in a ditch without involving any other vehicles or people. However, the check carried out by the police revealed that the blood alcohol level was higher than what is permitted by Spanish law. I'm sorry for what happened; I am practically a non-drinker and this was a serious oversight that should not have happened. I apologize to everyone and I can assure you that I have learned my lesson. Never drive after drinking alcohol. THANKS. »
