How five metres led to "angry" Zarco being thrown out of Motegi MotoGP result
The 24-lap race at Motegi was stopped due to heavy rain on the 14th lap. Johann Zarco, running in sixth place, slid off his Ducati due to aquaplaning in Turn 12, just before the race was halted. Despite getting his bike back to the pitlane within the allotted time, Zarco was not allowed to restart. According to the FIM sporting regulations, riders must enter the pitlane within five minutes after the red flag to be classified. Zarco pushed his bike back on an adjacent service road instead of crossing the designated pitlane entry line, resulting in his non-classification. He expressed frustration at not finishing in sixth place and blamed aquaplaning for his crash.
