Three point penalty

Penalty1 Comments

Following a post-race investigation, Rossi is given three penalty points and will start the final race of the season from the back of the grid after kicking Marquez off his bike during the Malaysian Grand Prix. MotoGP race director Webb:

It’s irresponsible riding causing a crash and for that we have imposed three penalties points on Rossi.

Rossi now leads Lorenzo by just seven points in the championship. Rossi:

Unfortunately, I lose a lot of time with Marc. And in turn 14, I tried to go a bit wide to take a better line and make him slow. He came to me and I think he crashed in that moment. His handlebar touched my foot and my foot slipped off, a bike can’t crash only with a touch. He has won his fight, he made me lose the championship.

Yamaha have said they will appeal against the sanction.
