MotoGP, Swapping trophies in pits, banter between Bagnaia and Morbidelli

Two videos are going viral on Instagram: Pecco and Franco swap the trophies they won at Lusail after the tire-pressure penalty imposed on Viñales.

MotoGP: Swapping trophies in pits, banter between Bagnaia and Morbidelli

A 2nd place turned 14th due to an infraction committed by Maverick Viñales related to tire pressure, which obviously changed the podium results in Qatar. Bagnaia was promoted behind his teammate, Marc Marquez, while Morbidelli - who would've otherwise not made it - came in 3rd.

The decision by the commissioners was made public almost an hour after the end of the GP. Consequently, in a relaxed environment, they had time for some fun banter between the Ducati Lenovo box and the VR46 Racing box.

In an early Instagram video released by the Borgo Panigale company, Frankie is seen entering the red garage and handing the runner-up trophy, which was still in its packaging, to Pecco who immediately places it in plain sight.

Instead, the two-time MotoGP champion took the one for Valentino Rossi's team and made his way through a box fille with crates (ready for their return home) to hand the third-place trophy to Morbido who immediately let loose and celebrated with his team.
