Alex Marquez Receives Official Warning After Disrupting Enea Bastianini in Misano Practice

MotoGP Officials Uphold Decision on Incident Between Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianini

Enea Bastianini Frustrated by Alex Marquez in Friday's Misano Practice Session

On Friday in Misano, Alex Marquez received an official caution.

The Gresini team member underwent an investigation, and FIM officials determined that he was moving at a reduced speed on the race track while practicing for the San Marino MotoGP.

The stewards determined that Marquez interfered with Enea Bastianini.

Since this was the first incident of its nature during the season, Marquez received just a formal warning as his penalty.

After their encounter, @Bestia23 appeared visibly displeased with @alexmarquez73, shaking his head in disappointment 💢 during the #SanMarinoGP 🇸🇲 event.

Bastianini's irritation with Marquez's tactic was clear.

For the second time in less than a week, the FIM stewards have made a decision regarding the actions of the younger Marquez sibling.

On Sunday in Aragon, he collided with Francesco Bagnaia in a harsh crash, from which, fortunately, both riders emerged without injuries.

This incident was classified as a race-related mishap, yet it failed to ignite a verbal dispute between the parties involved.

Bagnaia expressed regret for his involvement in the disagreement. He led the practice session on Friday in Misano, just five days following a minor incident where he found himself momentarily pinned beneath Marquez's Ducati.

Following a relatively minor incident involving a factory Ducati rider, Marquez once again found himself the center of attention during Friday's event in Misano.

This weekend, the political strategies of the Italian manufacturing company were closely scrutinized, given the differing priorities of their eight riders.

The event on Friday turned out to be a minor issue, yet it has clearly set the stage for the upcoming showdown at Misano.
