MotoGP adopts F1-style pre-race ceremony, riders face fines for absence
MotoGP will implement a new Formula 1-style pre-race grid ceremony for the national anthem at the San Marino Grand Prix, with fines for non-compliance.
Starting from Sunday at Misano, the traditional national anthem protocol for MotoGP will change.
Riders will now be required to stand at pre-arranged spots at the front of the grid during the national anthem.
The trophies for the grand prix and the MotoGP championship, which has been redesigned, will also be presented during the ceremony.
Non-compliance with the new protocol will result in fines, with the first offense carrying a €500 penalty.
Similar to Formula 1, this new protocol has become the standard for MotoGP going forward.
