If the 10-minute warm-up is usually unexciting to begin with, what can be said about this one? of the ninth of 22 rounds of the world championship MotoGPin Brno, Czech Republic, after the elimination of the world championship leader, Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing)?
We certainly haven't heard the last of this sanction imposed by the FIM MotoGP Stewards panel, which could prove decisive in awarding the title, especially since sanctions seem to be becoming increasingly frequent across all categories. The message from the authorities is clear: nothing will be tolerated anymore!
Which EddieO'Shea either disqualified at the end of the Moto3 Practice for a bike that was too light, or: the rule is clear and the application of a severe sanction is legitimate.
But if the MotoGP championship leader is suspended for an admittedly unacceptable gesture made in the heat of the moment, some cynics might say that doing the same thing to the president himself in France would have far fewer consequences…
Joking aside, fundamentally, punishment was justified, but beyond the extreme severity chosen, the argument used ("any act of corruption or fraud, or any action detrimental to the interests of the event or the sportcommitted by a person or group of people during an event.This opens up a world of possibilities and leads us straight to the sanitized world of F1: soon, will swearing be banned? Or perhaps it already is…
We have to face facts, we are no longer watching a sport that is played exclusively with a motorcycle, talent and balls, but a spectacle that is becoming more and more formatted every day.
So let's move on to this insignificant warm-up and the bland parade that will follow…
Sprint Results:
Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) withdrawal and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) suspended, only 20 riders will take to the track this morning.
