“It looks like nothing came out of it,” Guintoli said about the🗹 important meeting to BT Sport.

“If I was a rider I would have gone in with my iPad, with footage from Jerez, an🏅d showed everybody! 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo was penalised for taking out Miguel Ol🍷iveira [in𝕴 Jerez] but this was clearly a racing incident. 

“Show✱ them this image in front of the stewards and in front of all the MotoGP r꧃iders and ask: ‘Why did you penalise me there?’ 

“Then they would explain🧜. And all the riders would have explained to [the stewards], because they would all agrꦬee, that actually this was a racing incident and there was nothing you could do about it.

“[The stewards] would have had nowhere to go𓆏. I don’t know how this meeting was managed but, if nothing came out of it, it wasn’t managed in the right w♔ay. 

“Everything that happened in J🐓erez - there was a lot to talk about, a lot to argue about, to find a better way forward. 

“We don’t wan🍬t to ruin the show, we don’t want penalties like tꩵhat.

“Quartara𝕴ro had his race ruined, he could have done much better. The stewards need to be open to criticism.”

Are MotoGP riders satisfied?

Mooney VR46 rider Marini raged: “We spoke about everything. And they said that Pecco in Jerez✃, the drop one position [penalty] was correct for them.

“So why [in the sprint] didn’t they apply the same penalty, the same rule, [when] Binder pushed me out of the trackꦓ? And when Marquez hit Pecco when he overtook him? So another time, there is no consistency.

“It's really strange because at the end of their Safety Commission speech, I asked, 'if there is a contact and a rider hits the other rider and gains the position, disturbs [them] and causes a consequence to th♈e other rider, there is the❀ drop one position?’ They say ‘yes’.

“So today there was a c𝓰lear episode of this and they did not apply the rule.”

Aprilia's Aleix Espargarꦅo said: “I don't want to talk more about the Stewards. Noও meaning. From today until Valencia, please don't ask me because I will not respond.”
