Marc Marquez hits out at penalty chaos: “I don’t know why they changed it”
The Repsol Honda rider will miss this weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Spanish MotoGP at Jerez after doctors told 🌜him i🦩t was “too risky” to return so soon after hand surgery.
But Marquez’s eventual comeback is clouded in controversy because the MotoGP Court of Appeals have not yet decided if he must still serve the double long lap penalty he received 🍷for crashing into Miguel Oliveira at Portimao.
Marquez s🎶aid: “I received a penalty on Sunday after Portimao, which I complete𝔍ly agreed with.
“Then, I do♈n’t know why they changed it after two days.
“The team decided to appeal. As you 𒁃can imagine, when you are injured you don’t think about these things.
“Especially when the 🧸doctors say to you that it will be six-eig♊ht weeks, and you will lose three-four races.
“Believe me, the worst penalty for a rider🐓 is to be i🅰njured and to lose three races.
“The team continued with the appeal.
“Because, normally when you recei🏅ve a penalty, if you agree and you sign the papers, it must be that penalty. Not another one.”
🦩Marquez signed sanctioning🃏 forms for a double long lap penalty to be specifically served at the Argentina MotoGP, the Spanish media previously reported.
But when𝐆 he missed Argen♔tina due to injury, the rule was reworded to insist that Marquez serves his penalty whenever he is next fit to compete.
Honda appealed the rewording, claiming that a rule 👍cannot be changed after it has already been implemented.
The final decision from the MotoGP Court of Appeal has yet🃏 to be made.
Marquez is targeting a return to Le Mans ಌon May 14.
