After the incident during the Austrian GP MotoGPâ„¢ race involving Johann Zarco (Esponsorama Racing) and Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT) that brought out the Red Flag, the FIM MotoGPâ„¢ Stewards Panel held hearings on Thursday the 20th of August with both riders involved.
After evaluation it was determined that there was evidence of irresponsible riding from Johann Zarco, which has resulted in a penalty. The Frenchman will start his next MotoGPâ„¢ race from pitlane.
