Holgado apologises after contact causes Alonso Mandalika highside

A team-mate incident at this level carries particular weight because Holgado and Alonso share the same garage, the same resources, and presumably the same championship ambitions — making the collision costly in every sense. Holgado's public acceptance of blame matters, but the more pressing question is what it means for team dynamics going forward when one rider's error puts the other into a violent crash. A highside at Turn 1 in Mandalika is not a minor off; the physical and psychological toll on Alonso, and the trust deficit within the team, are the real consequences this apology has to address.
