Martin avoids penalty: MotoGP’s compulsory safety equipment
According to MotoGP rules, safety equipment must be worn and correctly fastened at all times during on-track activity. One rider from the Pramac Ducati team, who failed to properly zip up his leathers before the race, was able to rezip them himself and avoid being disqualified like Fabio Quartararo at Catalunya in 2021. Quartararo received a three-second post-race penalty for riding with his leathers unzipped and without his chest protector. The complete list of compulsory safety equipment for MotoGP riders includes two complete sets of undamaged gear, including race suits, boots, and gloves, which must be worn and fastened during on-track activity. Despite the incident with his leathers, Jorge Martin managed to hold off Quartararo and secure second place, heading into the Japanese Grand Prix 13 points behind Francesco Bagnaia. If Martin had received the same penalty as Quartararo, he would have finished in third place.
