Busted! FIM MotoGP Stewards Notifications of Sanction: Moto3

It’s about time that Moto3 riders who slow during qualifying and other sessions have the full force of the FIM brought down on them. Not only is it dangerous, it’s also not sportsman like. The few riders that actually have a crack on their own or with a fair slipstream deserve better.

17 riders have been penalised. For being slow on line during the final laps of the Q1 session at the Gran Premio Michelin® de Aragon, John McPhee (Petronas Sprinta Racing) has been given a Long Lap for the Moto3™ Race at the Aragon GP.

For a second offence, Stefano Nepa (Solunion Aspar Team Moto3) has been suspended from the first 15 minutes of Moto3™ FP2 at the Gran Premio Liqui Moly de Teruel.
