In Thailand, following the crash while behind Bagnaia, Marquez's suit opened, but unlike what happened with Quartararo in Barcelona, he was not given a penalty. Today came the steward panel's explanation.
"We were made aware of the gear malfunction with two laps to go. Our protocol then is to verify the issue with the riders gear through video images which we did. Once confirmed through those images we immediately sent an “equipment warning” message to the riders dashboard display which by this time was late during the last lap. The message was received 17 seconds before he crossed the finish line. At this time the rider crossed the finish line and the message is replaced with the checkered flag on the display.".
