Fabio Quartararo has been hit with an unusual penalty for the British 🔴Grand Prix following his crash in the early stages of Sunday’s MotoGP French GP at Le Mans.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Yamaha rider stunned the home French crowd on Saturday when he stormed to pole position for the second roun✅d running.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo converted that to a fourth-place finish in the sprint ha𓆉ving led it for the first five laps.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:In Suღnday’s wet flag-to-flag race, Quartararo was one of a number of riders to swap to a dry bike after the warm-up lap and netted a double long lap penalty a♍s a result under new rules.

Lead🔯ing in the early stages of the 26-lap grand prix, Quartararo was the first to dispense of his penalties and would ha🎀ve been in a strong position to capitalise.

Howev♏er, he꧅ crashed at the final corner on lap four when the rain intensified and was unable to rejoin to head to pitlane for his wet bike.

Quartararo 💯was seen in a disagreement with the marshals before trudging back to the paddock.

The s☂tewards have taken a dim view of this, deeming Quartararo to "behaved in an irresponsible manner, disobeying direct instructions from marshals, causing potential danger to yourself and others".

As a result, he will have to sit out the first 10 minutes of FP1 at the British Grand Pr♔ix in two weeks and also pay a €2000 fine.

While this punishﷺment may not seem grand compared to other penalties that could have been handed out, it does come at an awkward time for Yamaha.

It debuted a new engine at the French GP wꦕhich delivered a small top speed boost to the M1.

Testing this at a place more dependent on power like Silverstone will be a key part of Yamaha’s run programme for practice at th🐽e UK venue.

Yamaha is also testiꦫng at Misano this week, where updates and set-up ideas trialled there could fin🐼d their way onto Quartararo’s bikes for practice at Silverstone.

It's not the🍒 first time Quartararo has had a penalty hanging over his head coming to a British GP. 

In 2022, he faced a long lap penalty following 💦a collision at the previous Dutch GP with Aleix Espargaro. 

Commenting on his French GP prior to ജhis visit to the stewards’ office, Quartararo told 🤡TNT Sport: “Yeah, I mean I think it was tricky conditions.

“We gave our best but I made a crash in the last corner that I didn’t really expect, but many riders were ෴crashin🌱g in this corner and unfortunately it was like that.”
