Stewards did that, now MM and Repslo are appealing it. Hope they increase the penalty! https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2023...-refer-marquez-case-to-court-of-appeal/451174
Marquez won his appeal, and magically is fit to ride again! Wouldn't be surprised if the Stewards were to go gunning for him and hand out some strong punishments to him. Maybe the recent long laps handed out for minor, aka non-existent, infringements were done with that in mind.
I meant he may find himself now getting a lot of penalties, long laps etc, as he managed to avoid the initial penalty.
He sat out a couple of races so I guess he has been penalised by this and the fact that the penalty was not dished out with not room for misinterpretation, for me the matter is closed. No doubt the media and the press will go on ranting about it
Alot of crashes in todays moto gp race, some scary moments but I was genuinely gutted for Marquez after a stunning ride from start to finish only to fall on the penultimate lap!! Just goes to show he's still got it after being out for weeks and to come back and do that. If only Honda could put a bike under him that can keep up, saying that it looks much improved
Pecco being a bit of a Diva, apparently he thinks there should be a bigger difference between Factory and Satellite bike. Herve Poncharal was less restrained than me https://www.motogp.com/en/in+the+media/2023/05/17/poncharal-replies-to-pecco-that-s-bullsh-t/455698
Been reading today that BT Sport was bought by Warner who also own Discovery+ and Eurosport. Fingers crossed they are priced more like Eurosports than BT for streaming.

Considering Moto Gp is more exciting to watch than Football and F1 put together ......never mind womens football, its a real shame it doesn't get the coverage it deserves on 'normal' TV!!

To be honest its just our shit country that is the UK, we get the shitty end of the stick with everything compared to other countries and I'm not just talking about TV motorcycle racing coverage!!! But back to motorcycle racing.....in Italy and Spain, motorcycle racing has as big a fan base if not bigger than football!!! Facts
