Marc Marquez had an… eventful… Jerez MotoGP sprint that included an incident with former Honda team-mate Joan Mir. Here’s what they – and the tangentially involved Miguel Oliveira – made of it
Honda MotoGP rider Joan Mir was not happy about being pushed out by a recovering Marc Marquez at the Jerez sprint – but his frustration was mostly directed towards the penalty given to Marquez during the race, which Mir found unacceptable and inconsistent with past precedents. Marquez’s aggressive move on Mir in the final corner caused Mir to drop out of the top 10, placing him behind Marquez, Miguel Oliveira, and Augusto Fernandez. Mir voiced his displeasure saying, “it’s a bit unfair, honestly,” questioning how such a penalty was possible. Mir compared the incident to a similar penalty he received in a previous race for a move he considered less severe. Marquez admitted fault, but also hinted that Mir could have done more to avoid the collision. Despite not being angry with Marquez’s move, Mir criticized the timing of it and expressed confusion about the situation.
