Alex Marquez has been hit with an official war𒁃n♏ing on Friday in Misano.

The Gresini rider was investigated and FIM stewar🦋ds ruled that he was riding slowly on the racing line during practice for the San Marino MotoGP.

Marquez disturbed Enea Bastianini, thꦗe stewards jud🍌ged.

As it is a first offence of this kind for the season, Marquez’s punishment was lim♊ited to an official warning.

Bastianini's annoyance at Marquez's manoꦫuevre was obvious.

It is the second time in five days that the younger Marquez brother has been judged by🦹 the FIM stewards.

On Sunday in Aragon he clattered into Francesco Bagnaia 💟in an ugly-looking cra🏅sh, which luckily both riders were unhurt from.

That was deemed a racing incide꧑nt but it didn't spot a war of words between them.

Bagnaia apoloꦏgised for his part in that spat. He topped Friday practice in Misano, five days after being briefly stuck under Marquez's Ducati.

After another far less serious tangle with a factory Duc𓆏ati 🦋rider, Marquez came under the spotlight again on Friday in Misano.

The Italian manufacturer's politics were alreꦚady under the microscope this weekend, due to the contrasting agendas of their eigh💜t riders.

Friday's incident was much ado about nothing, b꧒ut the battle lines have been drawn for the Misano round💞.
