Updated: The FIM MotoGP Stewards’ panel has rejected the appeal by Fabio Di Giannantonio’s +Ego Speed Up team after seeing "no reason" to deviate from the original decision of no further action from the evidence provided.
Fabio Di Giannantonio’s Speed Up team has appealed against the MotoGP Stewards’ decision on the final-lap incide𝓀nt which saw Augusto Fernandez retain his victory in the Misano Moto2 race last time out.
Fernandez appeared to run off track at Turn 11 on the last lap of the Moto2 race at the San Marino round, gaining momentum through the fast right-hander, before pullin💖g off a block pass up the inside at Turn 14 to take the lead and charge to victory.
A Stewards’ investigation into the incident was launched ⛎post-race but no further action was taken meaning Fernandez retained his victory for Flexbox HP 40 Pons Racing rider ahead of Di Giannantonio.
But since “a miscommunication in Misano” the Speed Up squad were not given official notificati🔯on of the decision until today during the build-up to the Aragon round – leading♍ to an official appeal being lodged.
“Following the Moto2 race at the Gran Premio Octo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini, Augusto Fernandez (Flexbox HP 40) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (+Ego Speed Up) were required to attend a hearing with the FIM MotoGP Stewards Panel at 1൲5:30 local time (GMT +2),” a MotoGP statement read.
“After the heari🉐ng, the Stewards decided to take no further action.
“Due to a miscommunication in Misano, the Speed Up team were given official notification of this de✅cision on the Thursday of the Gran Premio Mဣichelin de Aragon, whereupon they chose to appeal the decision.
“The case has therefore now been referred to the FIM MotoGP Appeal Stewards, who are currently d🐟iscussing it.”
If the appeal is upheld, Ferna✨ndez is likely to face a post-race time penalty which would drop him down the final classification order a duly hand victory to Di Giannantonio.
During the pre-event Aragon MotoGP press conference, Marc Marq🍌uez asked for clarity over track limit pen🌳alties and cited the Moto2 in𒆙cident a🤪t Misano as a bad example set for future cases.
