Márquez and Pedrosa summoned by Race Direction in Malaysia

Dorna’s representative on the FIM Race Direction, Javier Alonso, wanted to comment on the situation seen during the MotoGP World Championship race at the Motorland Aragón circuit between riders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez.

Both riders have been summoned by Race Direction for next week’s meeting at the Sepang Circuit, where clarifications are expected regarding the possible penalty for the season’s rookie, as well as the possible change to the premier class regulations.

At this meeting we will have both Repsol riders, as well as the team representative, all to technically analyze what happened at the start of the premier class race at Motorland Aragón, in the incident between Pedrosa and Márquez. So we will see what happens this Thursday, October 10th, in Malaysia, and what decision Race Direction makes.

Statements from Javier Alonso regarding the possible penalty for the 93:

Everything is open, from a penalty to no penalty. We need to understand whether this could have been avoided, both the incident and the crash itself, because those are two important aspects, and once we understand all of this, if a decision has to be made, we will take the one we consider most correct.

Without a doubt the meeting in Sepang will be one of the hot topics of the next race of the Motorcycling World Championship, since this incident has been widely discussed in the press, among fans, and also by those involved, especially Dani, who did not seem pleased at all with his teammate’s extremely aggressive riding. We will see what happens next week in Malaysia.
