MotoGP™ Race Director Mike Webb explains Race
Direction’s decision after the clash between Rossi and
Marquez at the Malaysian GP.
After the on-track clash at the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle
Grand Prix between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez
that saw the latter crash, MotoGP™ Race Director Mike
Webb explains Race Direction’s decision:
What was Race Direction’s decision and view on
the incident?
“The decision is that Race Direction has imposed three
penalty points on Valentino Rossi for irresponsible riding,
that is, deliberately causing contact. Deliberately running
wide in a corner in order to try and force another rider
off line. The result was a crash and so it’s irresponsible
riding causing a crash and for that we have imposed
three penalty points on Rossi.
"It looked like we were going to have a great race, but
unfortunately it ended in an incident that’s controversial.
I have to say that the Movistar Yamaha team have
appealed against Race Direction’s decision, so now that
appeal will be heard by FIM stewards.”
What were the views that the riders expressed to
race direction?
“I can give you a general feeling rather than a quote
from our hearing, because obviously it a closed door
hearing. Marc explained that he was riding his normal
race waiting for the tyres to feel good and going fast
when he could and slowing down when he had to.
"Valentino was of the opinion that Marc was deliberately
slowing the pace of the race down and doing so unfairly.
We listened to both riders; our opinion was that there
was some fault on both sides, but as far as the rulebook
goes Marquez did not make any contact, did not break
any rules as such, but we feel that his behaviour was
causing problems to Rossi who reacted. Unfortunately he
reacted in a way that is against the rules.”
Movistar Yamaha are now appealing, what are the
next steps if the appeal is accepted or rejected?
“The FIM stewards here at the race will hear the appeal.
There is a time limit of 30 minutes to lodge an appeal,
that’s been done. The appeal is underway and they will
hear it as soon as possible within the next 30 minutes.
"If Yamaha are not happy with the steward’s decision,
they have five days to lodge an appeal with the FIM
International Disciplinary Court. So they have five days
and then the FIM lawyers get involved to have another
hearing.”
