The WorldSBK rookie finished tenth in Rac🦩e 1 after battling Garrett Gerloff during the middle part of the race, only to be disqualified several hours later.

Petruc🐠ci, who will replace Enea Bastianini at the factory Lenovo Ducati team for this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans, failed to provide his chest protector after giving it to his assistant post-race b🌠efore the mandatory weighing over every rider.

Speaking to , Petrucci said: "Unfortunately we𒁏 didn’t get what we deserved. In my opinion, what happened [in Race 1] is ൲uncommentable. 

"You g𒁏et a double Long-lap penalty for having touched the green with half a wheel; a Long-lap because you knock another rider to the ground and a disqualificatiಌon because, when I weighed myself I didn’t have my chest protector with me because my assistant, who had gone to get me water, had it." 

The💧 penalty was given to Petrucci despite him having his chest protector on the ܫgrid and racing with it, which is why the Italian was left fuming after having to pay a substantial fine without the chance of appealing. 

"The official wh♍o checks the chest protector on the grid passed by and had it as always," began Petrucci. "After the race I took everything off and gave my thi⭕ngs to my assistant, asking him to bring me a drink. 

"Meanwhile, an official told me to get weighed. I had the assistant give me my glov♛es back before he brought me the water, but I forgot my chest protec♏tor. 

"I weighed myself, the official asked about my protection and I explained the situation to him. He said ‘go’ and I left. I saw h🌄im writing and thought he had added 100 grams of protection. 

"At 5pm they called me to race direction and then disqualified me. It was as if I had race🦄d with a 1100 engine. 

"I paid 1320 Euros, and among 💃other things, was without ౠa receipt to appeal the decision of the FIM stewards and who decides on the appeal? Other FIM stewards.  

"It’s an incredible conflict 🍸of interest. I felt really bad about ꦗthis because I’ve never been disqualified from something completely unfair."
