HE MotoGP World Cup once again achieved the success of changing landscapes, changing continents, changing circuits in just a few hours, in just three days. From Portimao (Portugal) to Termas de Río Hondo, in Argentina. After the first weekend of the season champion ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati) The ‘Desmosedici’ 2023 showed that it will be (almost) nearly impossible to take the crown this season, as he was much better than last year allowing the Frenchman to top 92 points. Fabio Quartaro (Yamaha)The second race of the season is held on the Argentine circuit, which is characterized by much less grip than the Portuguese circuit.
Of course, as always Argentine Grand Prix The timed session that determines the ‘sprint race’ and the GP’s standings, where drivers will have to do their best to get into the top 10 in the second quarter, was marked today before the first session on Friday. Sunday was penalized for two slow laps because of the sanction, or rather, the colossal error of the Race Direction of the World Cup stewards panel. marc marquez (Sling) for losing control of his Honda by throwing him off balance Jorge Martin (Ducati) and bump miguel olive (April).
appeal postponed
The commissioners first wrote that the sanction would be enforced by the eight-time world champion in Argentina, and then corrected it in other words when it was confirmed that the Catalan would not go to Termas, in order to “fit for the next grand prix he attended”. The Honda team thinks this fix is no longer legal. It doesn’t make sense, he objected, the officials rejected this appeal and sent it to the MotoGP Court of Appeal. begins where the whole world hopes to see the eldest of the Márquez family, who underwent surgery last Monday for a broken right thumb.
“Of course there are things that are good and things that are not,” said the Australian. Jack Miller (KTM) at a press conference before the Argentine GP. “It’s the hardest job for officials who know how to set that line because that line moves. They’re doing everything possible to be consistent, and we as elite athletes try to do our best and make it easy.”
“The line on the track that we may or may not cross is constantly moving and it’s a complicated job for GPs.”
Never wanting to appear as Marc Márquez’s great defender, Miller thought, “because it’s not me, no” “There are accidents like this every year, these are races and things that happen, but because it’s about Marc Márquez, people pull out their knives and go after him.. We all believe he made a mistake, he was the first to admit it, so it must have consequences, but they are targeting him and want to impose sanctions on him.”
Bagnaia reviews
“See, What is not understood is that the commissionersThe winner of the two races last weekend and current world champion Italian Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia, the Steering Committee of Racing, could make such a mistake, it’s incomprehensible, it doesn’t make sense,” said the week in Portimao (Portugal) “Safety and sanctions imposed. We want to have an idea about them, it is difficult to understand them. We need to ask the commissioners to be clearer, to have the same act judged differently. this or that circuit, with this or that driver, it doesn’t make much sense”.
Having played in one of his best races since joining Aprilia, Maverick Viñales finished second very close to Bagnaia.also criticized the criteria by which the commissioners of the major awards were governed. “They need to give us more information, we need to believe the decisions are right, it’s a complex issue, there are different points of view, but it’s hard to understand the rule when applied in different ways, sticking to one rule. I think the referees have a lot of work to do from now on.”
