Bagnaia involved in car crash while over alcohol limit in Ibiza

Bagnaia, last year's runner-up in the MotoGP championship, is currently on a summer break after the Dutch Grand Prix, with the season set to resume next month at Silverstone.

The Italian rider has endured a frustrating season with four non-finishes but claimed his third victory of the year in Assen last month. The 25-year-old said he was celebrating his race win with friends in Ibiza.

However, the alcohol test carried out by the police found that the blood alcohol level was higher than what is allowed by Spanish law.

Ducati did not respond to a request for comment.
