Four more MotoGP riders are now racing time penalties in future races after having been found in breach of the tyre pressure regulations during the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika
After the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika, four MotoGP riders have received time penalties for breaching the tyre pressure regulations. MotoGP implemented tyre pressure monitoring after the summer break, mandating riders to maintain minimum pressures set by Michelin. Riders have expressed discontent with the rule, arguing that it limits their ability to adjust for race conditions and potentially renders the bike unrideable. Previously, only one rider, Maverick Vinales from Aprilia, was found in violation. However, in Indonesia, four riders, including Marco Bezzecchi, Aleix Espargaro, Raul Fernandez, and Franco Morbidelli, were penalized for running soft front tires. While the race results remain unaffected, their second offence will result in a three-second time penalty and potential disqualification, as MotoGP aims to further intensify the consequences for tyre pressure breaches.
