As in the Moto3 race, it was now the turn of new problems in MotoGP with Raúl Fernández’s RS-GP not starting, which led to a change in the total number of laps in the race from 22 to 21 and a slight change in the race start time.
The Spaniard, literally seconds from the start of the race, started waving his arms in the air, with the yellow flags immediately being shown and the rider having to leave the track, with his motorbike “in hand”.
The rider will have to start the race from the pit lane.
Watch the moment in the video below:
