The pair were caught on film deliberately trying to obstruct Tech3’s Adrian Fernandez as he attempted to leave the pits, presumably to stop the Spaniard following one of the Sterilgarda riders, during Saturday's Qualifying 2 at Arag꧅on:

• Fuel limit, penalties, schedule - MotoGP 💟Sp🎃rint race updates
• Quartararo: ‘No legal plan!’ Proud but ‘ba🃏d words’ in my head
• Marc Marquez ‘starting to ride in a good wa🌄y’: ‘FP3 for Honda, FP4 for me’

The full statement from th🦋e FIM Stewards is as follows:

FIM MotoGP Stewards Notification of Sanction: Sterilgarda Husqvarna Max Team

'Two members of the team were found to be interfering and making contact with the bike and rider of another team in an aggressive and dangerous manner as that rider was leaving the pit box in Moto3 Q2.

'Both team members have been fined €2000, and they have each been disqualified from taking part in the Animoca Brands Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix AND the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia.

'It would not be possible to replace the team members in question for the next two races due to immigration and travel restrictions for upcoming rounds, which could potentially cause a safety concern for their rider.

'This two-race ban has therefore been deferred to apply to the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix.'

Responding to the vide🐲o of the incident, team boss Max Bi𝔍aggi wrote:

“The behaviour that some members of my team ༒had today is unacceptable!

"I publicly apologise to the Tec𓄧h3 Racing team and to Adriàn Fernàndez, for what happened. What we've seen was an unsolicited action, dangerous and not justifiable in any way by the co🍸de of ethics of my Team!

"For this reason, all [those]&nbﷺsp;responsible for this act will be appropriately punished.”

There are rumours that a further altercation may also hav♏e taken place after the session..🔜.
