Bagnaia: I don't know what is the reason for the fall, I don't feel the best on the motorcycle at the moment

Francesco Bagnaia finished the premier race in India without points after crashing on the fourteenth lap of the race. Jorge Martin, with his second place, reduced his lead in the overall standings to only 13 points.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner added that the FIA needs to think a little about its strict rules.
