FIM MotoGP Stewards suspend Bezzecchi from the Czech GP

Emotions boiled over on Saturday following his crash out the Sprint, leaving the #72 on the sidelines for Sunday

Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) will not take part in the Czech GP Grand Prix race. Following his crash out of the Tissot Sprint in Brno, the Italian was involved in an altercation with a marshal and was called to see the FIM MotoGP Stewards.

The FIM MotoGP Stewards document, which explains that they have suspended Bezzecchi from the Czech GP, says that “following a crash you pushed and struck circuit Marshals who were trying to recover your machine.”

That is an infringement of Article 3.3.2.2, an action “prejudicial to the interests of the sport”.

After hearings with Bezzecchi to listen to his case, the FIM MotoGP Stewards have confirmed their penalty is the suspension from the Czech GP. That means the #72 will not race on Sunday.

Aprilia have the right to appeal within one hour of the publication of the penalty.
