MotoGP Catalunya: Maverick Vinales given ‘Official Warning’ for low tyre pressure
But the🦹 Spaniard will still keep his second place behind Aprilia team-mate Aleix Espargaro, since the punishment for a first offence is only an ‘Official Warning’.
If Vinales is found to be under the minimum pressure specified by Michelin for at least 50% of a Sunday race distance or 30% of a Sprint race ag꧂ain, he would face a 3-second post-race time penalty.
A th𒁃ird offence would see the punishment increase to 6-seconds, then 12-seconds fo♔r a fourth breach.

Vinales is likely to have been caught out simply because, lining up third on the grid (with Francesco Bagnaia🎉 out) but having struggled with starts all se🌳ason, Aprilia would not have expected him to be leading all the way from laps 1-19.
The fresh air in front would have kept Vinales’ tyre pressure lower thanꦇ if he had been following another machine.
However, if Vinales had started with a higher pressure, but then been caught behind other bikes, he would have str༺uggled with a lack of grip from being too far above the minimum.
