Enea Bastianini has been given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Alex Rins in qualifying for the Dutch MotoGP.
Enea Bastianini has received a three-place grid penalty for the Dutch MotoGP due to disrupting Alex Rins during qualifying while riding slowly. This penalty was imposed as Bastianini’s first offense of the 2025 MotoGP season. The penalty will only affect the Sunday race at Assen, allowing him to maintain his original grid position for Saturday’s Sprint. Despite starting the race from his original spot, Bastianini will drop three places to 20th due to the penalty. During qualifying, Bastianini was observed riding slowly and somewhat disturbing Rins at turns 9-10, causing the penalty to be issued. Additionally, both riders participated in Q1 on Saturday but failed to advance to Q2, where Fabio Quartararo secured pole position for the fourth time this season.
