Quartararo collided with RNF Aprilia’s Oliveira on the opening lap of Sunday’s main race at Turn 2, which led to the red flags being shown.
“I mean, first I think they said that they are stressed in this situation, they are in a rush. But it’s difficult to say ‘you are penalised’ when you are not sure and after the race you are not fully agreed it’s a penalty.” With complaints about inconsistencies in stewarding constant, the FIM stewards panel will meet with the riders at the French GP to explain its position on decision-making.
“I could not escape this crash. I just tried to brake and stop, but I hit – I don’t know who was first – but the bike of Miguel took my clutch and I hit the bike of Bezzecchi. I had no other solution but to do that, so the crash was 100% sure.”
