Moto2, Zonta penalized will start from pitlane, for Arbolino three grid positions

Penalties were expected and they came for the two Moto2 riders involved in a pitlane entry incident this morning. Both Zonta VD Goorbergh and Tony Arbolino received penalties for irresponsible riding.

Very harsh penalty for the Dutch rider of the Idrofoglia team, it is learned in fact that the rider will be forced to a departure from the pitlane in Sunday's race for causing the accident in which the Italian rider was involved. Sanctioned also Arbolino, we read in fact that the rider of the Marc VDS team after a fall at turn 11, tried to recover his bike to return to the pitlane, a behavior that the race direction considered dangerous because as it is clear from the article 1.21.2 of the regulation, the riders must observe caution both on the track and in the pitlane. Article 1.21.6 then goes into detail on the issue, pointing out that in case of mechanical failures, riders must safely leave the vehicle at the edge of the track and avoid trying to re-enter the pitlane. For these reasons, the Italian rider received a three-place grid penalty in the upcoming race on Sunday.
