FIM Stewards announce verdict on slow riding incidents at the end of Friday practice for the Hungarian MotoGP.
“Both Jack Miller and Alex Marquez have received three-place grid penalties for the upcoming Hungarian MotoGP at Balaton Park due to slow riding and disrupting other riders in practice on Friday afternoon.
This behavior led to Pecco Bagnaia expressing his frustration and Fabio di Giannantonio being involved in the incident as well.
Alex Marquez, currently second in the standings, received the penalty for obstructing Miller and Francesco Bagnaia at Turns 3 and 4, while Jack Miller was penalized for affecting Bagnaia at Turn 3.
Despite finishing third fastest on the day, these penalties will impact Marquez and Miller in Sunday’s race, as they will have to start three places lower than their qualifying positions.
The penalty protocol addresses slow riding during the final 20 minutes of practice sessions, as it can impact a rider’s ability to advance to Q2.
Marquez finished behind Pedro Acosta and Marc Marquez, while Miller ended up in 17th place for Pramac Yamaha.”
