Johann Zarco fined for breaking MotoGP’s practice start rules at Le Mans.
Johann Zarco was fined for violating MotoGP’s practice start regulations during the opening practice at Le Mans, despite finishing the session in fourth place. His practice start was deemed unsafe and potentially dangerous, as he stopped and attempted a second start. The penalty of a 1000-euro fine serves as a reminder that riders cannot stop and restart during practice starts to prevent accidents. Fortunately, the financial penalty will not affect Zarco’s performance this weekend. In contrast, Luca Marini, fastest on new tires in FP1, missed the practice start period due to technical issues.
