Aleix Espargaro questions MotoGP penalty consistency after Miller pile-up
“I don’t care. I don’t blame Jack…”

Aleix Espargaro ‘doesn’t care’ that Jack Miller wasn’t penalised for triggering a lap one pile-up in the MotoG𝓡P Indonesian Grand Prix but has questioned penalty consistency.
The Aprilia rider was one of three riders including Alex Marquez and Luca Marini who were taken out in a Turn 3 pile-up triggered by a crashing Miller on the open🍨ing lap of🌃 Sunday’s Indonesian GP.
The incident was investigated by th⛦e stewards but no further acti✨on was taken and Miller escaped punishment.
In the earlier Moto2 race, Zonta van den Goorbergh was hit with a double long lap penalty for contact with Jaume Masia at Turn 1 that res💝ulted in the Spaniard crashing out.
While Espargaro isn’t bothered about the incident, he has questioned why van den Goorbergh was𝐆 given a penalty for something he felt was “a normal touch in corner one” and nothing was given to Miller for something similar.
“It’s always difficult,” he began.
“I saw, for example, the de💛cision in Moto2 of Zonta with Masia.
“They just gave a long lap penaཧlty because Masia crashed. But I saw a normal tꦐouch in corner one.
“Why did he have that double long lap penalty and 🔜we didn’t? I don’t care.
“I don’t blame Jack. I✤t can happen. It’s the first lap, he ob𒉰viously risked a lot.
“This is why maybe you can unde💟rstand the decision because if you check the helicopter shot he was completely out of the line. But it’s racing and it can happen.”
Miller agreed with the stewards’ decision and held his hands up that the crash 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:was his mistake.
From Alex Marqu⛎ez’s p🧸erspective, he too held not ill-will towards the KTM rider.
“I mean, not a lot to say because🍸 I didn’t🍃 see the crash,” he added.
“Just some bikes hit 𝔉me on the rear - I think it was the KTM from Miller.
“Maybe he was too optimistic going into that plac🦹e and he touched the brakes and lost the f💝ront.
“It’s something that ca𝐆n happen. Everyone wants to recover fast, everyone wants to recover positions, especially on this track 🙈where the front tyre gets hot and it’s difficult to overtake.
“So, not much to🃏 say. A weekend to forget.”
