The FIM acknowledged an ‘error’ in scoring during the Moto2 race at the 2026 Thai Grand Prix where multiple red flags led to confusion over points allocation. The race experienced two stoppages for crashes involving top contenders, ultimately resulting in multiple restarts and a shortened 7-lap race. Initially, full championship points were awarded to the winner Gonzalez, but further review revealed that only half points should have been given based on the completed distance.

As a result, Gonzalez’s points were revised to 12.5, impacting the overall Moto2 standings.
