This is a new violation of the regulations which shows that if everyone is theoretically equal in front of him, some, in MotoGP, are still more equal than others. The fact is that it is still Yamaha who are taking advantage of the situation. The Iwata brand rode illegal motorcycles and was punished for this, but not its riders. Now, Yamaha sees itself benefiting from a free pass with regard to a health protocol for which Dorna has nevertheless prided itself on its existence and its respect to demonstrate its seriousness and rigor to the authorities of the countries that its world championship crosses… Indeed, Maverick Viñales, declared contact case, will be able to continue driving as if nothing had happened.
This morning, MotoGP innovated again by interpreting its rules rather than applying them. Since last night, we know that the box Yamaha is a cluster with regard to COVID-19. The box of Maverick Vinales is decimated and the team manager Mayo Meregalli will no longer be part of the party like some of his other staff. All these beautiful people rubbed shoulders Maverick Vinales, by the fact case contact. If we want to remember the positions of the Doctor Charter, guardian of the health protocol presented as ruthless, the third in the championship should be placed in quarantine. And yet it continues to roll.
Iker Lecuona will appreciate
His place in the title race as well as the fact that he is already assured of the sanction of starting from the pit lane due to a new engine mounted on his Yamaha apart from the annual allowance which has otherwise been exhausted, it does not change anything in that we are still faced with double standards. We will indeed recall that Tony Arbolino had to miss a Grand Prix because he had a passenger with COVID-19 as a neighbor on a plane. And we will note thatIker Lecuona, also identified as a contact case, must ignore this European Grand Prix. He will have the pleasure of watching a Maverick Vinales who does not seem concerned by the health crisis.
