If the current Moto2 title race ends in a grand finale played to the last winner and the winner will only be designated for one point, we will undoubtedly talk about this Long Lap penalty carried out by Pedro Acosta as part of the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen. Many saw it need to be redone because of a passage in the green part. But not the commissioners who validated the punishment as done. A decision which surprised and disappointed Tony Arbolino's clan, which nevertheless remains at the top of the general classification at the start of this summer break...
It's not a deal yet, but if the title race continues to be tight and undecided between Tony Arbolino et Peter Acosta, we will eventually come out the folder. In the meantime, it is tucked away in the corner of the mind of the manager of the Italian and driver of Marc VDS Racing that is Charles Pernat.
Public chat MOW, he gives his point of view, which is none other than a fear for sporting fairness between the duelists until the end of hostilities... " Acosta should have been penalized » he said. “ Binder went into the green and was penalized. They took away a podium from Binder, not Pedro Acosta and these are double standards ».
Carlo Pernat is convinced of an Acosta affair: “ it's a scandal, it's a world championship »
He adds : " it's a world championship: what are this penalty A and this penalty B? It's a scandal, it's a world championship. If we want to have a different championship, let's say it right away ».
« I repeat: it's a world championship and it's a sensational own goal for the spectacle. Dorna must intervene on the commissioners and Freddie Spencer. It is clear that they are paid by the FIM and not by Dorna, but the organization had to intervene » fumes the one who is also manager ofEnea Bastianini.
Charles Pernat ends with the performance of his foal at Assen, which hardly consoles him: “ we knew the bike wasn't very good here. He just managed and did well, he's leading the world championship and that's what we wanted to do. Now we're going to get back on track where I think we're going to play for something important. Let's put it this way: if Acosta is a phenomenon, Arbolino is almost a phenomenon, but the championship is open and we are fighting for it ". The two men are now separated by eight points, thanks to Tony Arbolino.
