FIM Stewards announce verdicts on Spanish MotoGP clashes

While damp patches accounted for all but one of the 15 accidents in the Saturday Sprint, Sunday’s Spanish MotoGP saw three sets of rider clashes placed under investigation by the FIM Stewards.The first incident involved opening lap contact between Johann Zarco and Pedro Acosta , in which both stayed on board.

The Frenchman was the victim of the second clash, being sent flying on lap 10 when his LCR Honda was struck by Aleix Espargaro’s Aprilia . “After hearing with both riders and after further review was determined to be a race incident,” read a summary statement from the Stewards. The furious KTM rider then screamed at the Italian in the gravel trap. Espargaro also said he had been hit by Morbidelli ‘a couple of times’ earlier in the race.
