Franco Morbidelli, to say the least, animated the start of the Sprint of the British Grand Prix of MotoGP. Although he achieved a fairly decent takeoff, the Pramac pilot completely missed the first braking.
Losing control of his machine, the Italian hit the bike of his compatriot, Marco Bezzecchi, causing him to fall. After ruining the VR46 driver's Sprint, the two men were taken to the medical center for further examinations. At the same time, the commissioners began to analyze the incident.
Each of Morbidelli and Bezzecchi were declared fit to continue the weekend, but unsurprisingly, the offender received a hefty penalty. The No. 21 will have to complete a double Long Lap this Sunday in the main race.
“MotoGP stewards investigated the incident, and determined that Morbidelli acted irresponsibly, causing himself and Bezzecchi to crash. Consequently, he will have to respect the sanction imposed on him, namely a double Long Lap during the next race. communicate the official announcement.
Franco Morbidelli, who had already complicated his task in the morning, failing to get out of Q1, therefore seriously compromises his chances of scoring big points. The Italian will start from thirteenth row in the main race, which will start at 14:00 p.m. this Sunday.
