FIM MotoGP Stewards Panel Notification of Sanction: John McPhee

2018-05-18 19:56
According to Article 3.5.5 of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations and the FIM Disciplinary
and Arbitration Code, we confirm our decision.
Motive
On 6 May 2018 at 11:01 during the Moto3 Race of the GRAN PREMIO RED BULL DE ESPANA, at Turn 2
you were found to be riding in an irresponsible manner causing a crash.
This contravenes Article 1.21.2 of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations “Riders must ride in
a responsible manner which does not cause danger to other competitors or participants, either on the track
or in the pit lane. It is therefore an infringement of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations and
is considered a moderately serious offense.
Sanction
For the above reasons and the degree of seriousness of the offence, the MotoGP Stewards Panel has
imposed on you a penalty of 6 grid positions at your next Moto3 Grand Prix Race according to Article 3.2.1 of
the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Disciplinary and Arbitration Code.
Right of Appeal
According to Articles 3.4.2, 3.4.6, and 3.4.7 of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations, you
have the right to appeal against this decision of the MotoGP Stewards Panel to the FIM Appeal Stewards. A
statement of appeal must be made within 1 hour from the date and time of this notification, and accompanied
by a security deposit of €1320. The appeal can be lodged with IRTA who may also arrange for guarantee of
the security deposit payment.
Sincerely,
FIM MotoGP Stewards Panel
