A ri🔯der with a bad reputation in the MotoGP paddock has been told his latest punishment must act as a “turning point”.

Moto3 rider David Munoz fell foul of the rule-book after another controversial incident at Jerez last weekendꦅ.

A crackdown in the days prior from stewards centred around riders who, after completing a fast qualifying lap, were intentionally riding only fast enough to narrowly avoid a penalty, in o𝔉rder to slow down the rivals behind them.

Munoz was one of several Moto3 riders punished for exactly this indiscretion, despite the st𓄧ewards warning them in advance.

He qualified🐬 third but was sent to 𓄧the back of the grid.

“They explained it on Thursday - and the very first person to receive the penalty was David Munoz,”♏ Neil Hodgson analysed for TNT Sports.

“It’s𒀰 becoming ver꧂y frustrating. He has a terrible reputation in this paddock, and is quite dirty on track.

“Those♛ sorts of tactics are ridiculously unsporting.

“I hope this is a turning point for him. I hope he lear🅷ns𓃲 his lesson.

“But, week ♏in and week out, we seem to be talking about the young Spanish rider.”

Munoz has been in trouble before this year.

He was given a long🅺 lap penalty at Buriram after riding recklessly when battling Luca Lunetta. Munoz later crashed out withou⛎t serving it.

He was rule🌠d to be “riding in an irresponsible manner causing a contact” causing “exceptionally high risk to marshals who were placed in danger”. Munoz was forced to start from the pit lane in Argentina.
