Moto3 riders penalised for ‘hand off the handlegrip’
The FIM Stewards handed out penalties to three riders who were observed riding irresponsibly during Saturday’s final practice at Motegi. They were seen riding on the straight with their left hand off the grip and moving it up the handlebar or partially gripping it, which is considered dangerous and could pose a danger to other competitors. Although moving the left hand inward may have an aerodynamic benefit in terms of drag reduction, it is still deemed irresponsible. One of the riders, Collin Veijer, was specifically penalized at 08:49:25, as shown in the video clip. In a separate incident, Kelso and Ivan Ortola were disqualified from the Catalunya results due to an incorrect oil sample.
