Bombshell: Bezzecchi suspended from the Brno GP! Extremely harsh penalty—what happened?

Saturday, 20 June 2026 at 20:08

After the crash in the Sprint, Marco Bezzecchi was involved in an incident with the marshals that did not go down well at all... Here’s what happened.

Marco Bezzecchi has been suspended from the Brno GP, scheduled for tomorrow. The reason for the very heavy penalty for the Aprilia rider and MotoGP leader lies in the shoves and slaps directed at the marshals after his crash in the today’s Sprint. This would be quite a blow for the rider from Romagna... From the top management of the Noale brand comes, for now, a "We will keep you updated as soon as possible"; further comments will follow. Perhaps after deciding to file an appeal? That’s only our hypothesis, unfortunately the footage is clear... Below is the full statement.
