An “irresponsible riding” penalty to Maverick Vinales has benefitted MotoGP points leader Pecco Bagnaia – but not rival Jorge Martin
MotoGP championship leader Pecco Bagnaia will start the Valencian Grand Prix on pole after Maverick Vinales received a penalty. Vinales had scored his first pole in qualifying but will now drop to the second row due to an infringement during warm-up. Vinales ignored a black-and-orange flag, which requires the rider to immediately leave the track when their motorcycle has mechanical problems. Bagnaia will now lead the front row, followed by Johann Zarco and Jack Miller. Vinales will start at the head of the second row, alongside Brad Binder and Jorge Martin.
