Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro has become the first MotoGP rider to incur a result-changing penalty for a tyre pressure infringement following the rule’s introduction earlier this year – while title contender Jorge Martin is now at risk of future penalties after a warning
Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro was the first MotoGP rider to receive a result-changing penalty for a tyre pressure infringement. The penalty dropped him from fifth to eighth place in the Thailand Grand Prix. Title contender Jorge Martin also received a warning for the same offence, but his win remains unaffected. Espargaro, Martin, Marc Marquez, and Pol Espargaro were found to be running below the minimum front tyre pressure requirement for more than half of the race. A second infringement would result in a time penalty, while a third would lead to a more severe penalty. Any subsequent infringement by Martin could be decisive in the title race.
