Following a review of the Moto2 race results from Thailand, an error has been identified in the total race distance completed.
The results were initially issued with full championship points. Under normal circumstances, race control software issues a prompt indicating that 50% of original race distance has not been completed in order to award half points.
Due to the multiple starts that took place at the Grand Prix of Thailand, the single lap completed on the second start, which should have been null and void, was incorrectly added to the overall race distance.
In accordance with the sporting regulations, the race distance actually completed requires half points to be awarded. The points allocation has therefore been corrected and updated championship standings will be published.
Additional verification steps will be implemented to prevent any similar events in the future.
