A rider with a bad reputation in the MotoGP pa🎐ddock has been told his latest punishment ཧmust act as a “turning point”.

Moto3 rider David Munoz fell foul of the rule-book after another controversial incident at Jerez last💛 weekend.

A crackdown in the days prior from stewards centred aro🐈und riders who, after completing a fast qualifying lap, were intentionally riding only fast enough to narrowly avoid a penalty, in order to slow down the rivals behind them.

Munoz was one of several Moto3 ride🔥rs punished for exactly this indiscretion, despite the stewards warning them in advance.

He qualified third but was sent 🅺to the back of the grid.

“They explained it on Thursday - and the very first person to receiv꧒e the penalty w💫as David Munoz,” Neil Hodgson analysed for TNT Sports.

“It’s becoming very frustrating. He has a terribl🙈e reputation in this paddock, and is quite♔ dirty on track.

“Those ꦍsorts of tactics are ridiculously unsporting.

“I hope this🐓 is a turning point for him. I hope he learns his lesson.

“But, week iꦕn and week out, we seem to be talking about the young Spanish rider.”

Munoz has been in trouble before this year.

He was given a long lap penalty at Buriram after riding recklessly when battling Luca Lunet꧋ta. Munoz later crashed out without serving it.

He was ruled to be “riding in an irresponsible manner causing a contact” causing “exce🧔p💦tionally high risk to marshals who were placed in danger”. Munoz was forced to start from the pit lane in Argentina.
