Fermin Aldeguer punished for an ‘unfair’ off-camera move that cost Miguel Oliveira five places in the Czech MotoGP.
During Sunday’s Czech Republic MotoGP at Brno, Fermin Aldeguer received a three-second post-race penalty for an aggressive overtake on Miguel Oliveira, who was pushed off track on lap 6, dropping from 13th to 18th place.
Although Aldeguer finished 8th, the FIM MotoGP Stewards penalized him for an unfair move that caused Oliveira to lose multiple positions, resulting in Aldeguer being demoted to eleventh in the final standings.
Miguel Oliveira criticized Aldeguer, stating that the overtake ruined his race and left him struggling with unusual tyre problems that affected his performance in the race.
In contrast, Aldeguer defended his actions, claiming he did not make contact with Oliveira and expressing frustration over the delayed communication of his penalty that resulted in a post-race time penalty equivalent to a long lap.
As a consequence of Aldeguer’s penalty, Brad Binder, Pol Espargaro, and Oliveira’s teammate Jack Miller were each promoted one place in the classification.
