“It looks like nothin🧔g came out of it,” Guintoli said about the important meeting to BT Sport.

“If I was a rider I would have gone in with my iPad, with footage from Jerez, and▨ showed 🅠everybody! 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo was penalised for taking out Miguel Oliveira [in Jerez] ဣbut this was clearly a racing incident. 

“Show them this image in f🅠ront of the stewards ༒and in front of all the MotoGP riders and ask: ‘Why did you penalise me there?’ 

“Then they would explain. And all the riders would h🦩ave explained to [the stewards], because they would all agree, that actually this was a racing incident and there was nothing you could do a📖bout it.

“[The stewards] would have had nowhere to go. I don’t know how this meeting was managed but, if nothing cam⛄e out 💜of it, it wasn’t managed in the right way. 

“Ever💦ything that happened in Jerez - there was a lot to talk about, a lot to argue about, to find a better way forward. 

“We don’t want to rui⛦n the show, we don’t want penalties like that.

“Quartararo had his race ruined, he could have done much ✤better. The stewards need to be open to criticism.”

Are MotoGP riders satisfied?

Mooney VR46 rider Marini raged: “We spoke about everything. And they said that Pecco in Jওerez, the drop one position [penalty] was correct for them.

“So why [in the sprint] didn’t they apply the same penalty, the same rule, [when] Binder pushed me out of the traꦐck? And when Marquez hit Pecco when he overtook him? So another time, there is no consistency.

“It's really strange because at the end of their Safety Commission speech, I asked, 'if there is a contact and a rider hits the other rider and gains the position, disturbs [them] and causes a consequen🐻ce to the other rider, there is the drop one position?’ They say ‘yes’.

“So today there was a clear episode of thi✨s and they did💞 not apply the rule.”

Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro said🗹: “I don't want ൲to talk more about the Stewards. No meaning. From today until Valencia, please don't ask me because I will not respond.”
