'We have to be allowed to do that and not to be scared about penalties.' The FrenchGP sprint race has again put the spotlight on inconsistent stewarding in MotoGP, with riders unhappy with how penalties are applied.
The Honda rider believes hard racing is an integral part of MotoGP and penalising minor incidents will only have a negative effect on the racing.“This is stupid, for me. Already yesterday for me it was nice that the stewards came to the safety commission and I appreciated it a lot.
“All the rest were racing incidents. This is MotoGP. Then they started to speak about putting more penalisation, different warnings: if we have more penalisations, we will speak more and more about this. “If you do a big mistake like I did in Portimao, it must be penalised. But all the rest, the people like to see that kind of show.
has made his own complaints about stewarding this season, but feels nothing will ever change because none of the riders can agree on what incidents deserve punishment.“Then there is three people from the stewards, and it’s difficult to have everybody agree on one thing.
