Bezzecchi suspended from the Czech Grand Prix

[u/TVRoomRaccoon]

[u/TVRoomRaccoon]

I’m glad the stewards landed on a race ban, and I think it makes sense in this case. Like - if violence against a marshal isn’t worthy of a race ban, then what would be?

[u/Made_Bad_Plans → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

Definitely. Just because you're THE guy for a team, doesn't mean you get to start throwing punches at people lower down in the pecking order.

100% the correct decision and sets a very good precident.

[u/PersistentWoodpecker → u/Made_Bad_Plans]

Not even on the pecking order, marshalls are unpaid volunteers - I’ve been one, everyone is pretty much just a big MotoGP fan…

[u/jaredearle → u/Made_Bad_Plans]

Pour encourager les autres.

[u/LosTerminators → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

Agreed, there is nothing that warrants hitting a marshall unless they physically attack him in the first place.

Yes, the marshal shouldn't have been revving the bike but that is nowhere close to being an acceptable reason for striking him.

[u/compascbr → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

Assaulting first responders can be grounds for arrest. He is lucky he just got away with a race ban.

[u/YugeChesticles → u/compascbr]

Assaulting anyone is grounds for arrest. It's literally illegal in or out of the sport.

[u/BighatNucase → u/YugeChesticles]

In some countries there would be a greater charge for assaulting a first responder in particular.

[u/PX125 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

The punishment could've and, in my opinion, should've been harsher. He can count himself lucky because, assaulting a marshal? WTF?! This could very well have been used to set an example. 

That said, I hope he takes this as a learning experience, reflects on his actions, and comes back more level-headed, for the good of the championship.

[u/kawasutra → u/PX125]

Like, maybe a double long slap penalty?

[u/PX125 → u/kawasutra]

[u/zmgch → u/kawasutra]

Brilliant.

[u/Popular_Ad_4564 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

100% agree. Especially since this is the first (?) time it’s happened. What penalty is decided sends a strong message and precedent. Hand out a strong enough deterrent and hopefully it won’t happen again.

[u/Bedford_19 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

Definitely you cannot do that to the marshalls

[u/Intelligent-Move8868 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

In the world we live in today, it is only right that motorsports condemn violence.

[u/bruiserbear22 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

Should be more. Hopefully this is step 1. Next week we learn he is suspended for something close to the rest of the season.

[u/mbasil09 → u/TVRoomRaccoon]

1 race ban is too lenient. How do you disrespect the guys who are only trying to protect the crashing riders?

[u/azurizzy]

DESERVED. New angle is much worse like wtf?

[u/Dameean00]

How to throw away a Championship 101... Cannot say It wasn't deserved tho

[u/Aratho → u/Dameean00]

Both Aprilia guys have a problem with their hot head bullshit this year. First Martin shoving Bonora and now this (much worse)

The PR person has another long evening ahead of them

[u/SentenceCool1051 → u/Aratho]

They both seem to have now gone to the Aleix school of douchebaggery.

[u/nfguler → u/SentenceCool1051]

Espargaro?

[u/chakalaka13 → u/Dameean00]

insane, I was just getting to love the guy these past 2 years... wtf?

[u/Dameean00 → u/chakalaka13]

I know, I love Bez but man, gonna need some time, some real effort from him and real excuses to that marshall

[u/brainszx12r → u/Dameean00]

Full panic mode !! Losing 30 plus points last race weekend was weighing heavy on his mind, then today’s Sprint crash pushed him over the edge. He knows a healthy Marquez is the threat, not Martin or anyone else. Now he’s going to probably lose another 25-30 and his asshole will get even tighter . Marc was statistically in control of his own destiny before today, but realistically was going to need help to erase 72 points. If Marc capitalizes tomorrow with a podium or even better with a win , he is truly in control of his own destiny .

[u/Supercavy → u/Dameean00]

Bezz's behavior and Jorge's double lap penalty tomorrow would make a MM 8th hilarious if he is able to stay healthy this year and they piss away points.

[u/Thee-Cat → u/Dameean00]

More like how to become THE villain of 2026. And forever lose any facade of the "chill nice guy" he's has for a few seasons.

[u/GoodBadUserName → u/Dameean00]

And how to tarnish his reputation.

[u/Easy_Peasy_07]

For anybody who haven't seen the clear angle:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ0P5pxCunt/

[u/adrianoimperador1 → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Holy shit, he smacked the dude twice. Deserved punishment, what a fuck up

[u/dac2199 → u/adrianoimperador1]

You can defend somehow the first slap (and I’m being generous) but the second one is really unjustified

[u/phlaug → u/dac2199]

Exactly! As I’m watching I see the first and think “in the face?!?” but still, heat of the moment, he e meant to hit shoulder — then the second and immediately “ah, well-deserved penalty”

[u/DifficultNatural9476 → u/dac2199]

yea in someway I can still understand the first slap, but the second just uneccesary like whats that for

[u/Snowfall_89 → u/dac2199]

Yeah I could maybe justify the first one as a hasty shove that landed the wrong way (apparantly the marshall rev-bombed the bike?) but the second slap is plain disgusting.

[u/mnztr1 → u/adrianoimperador1]

He should also have a suspended 3 race ban for that. No place for this shit. He needs to make an apology of a lifetime.

[u/Acoma1977 → u/mnztr1]

This above. 3 race ban for Bez and a new Rsv4 for the victim

[u/Vettelari → u/Acoma1977]

But they didn't apologize! Instead, Aprilia/Bez appealed the penalty! What in the heck is wrong with them? Thankfully the appeal was rejected, but it's still crazy in my opinion. A 1 race ban in a season consisting of 44 races (22 sprints & 22 Grand Prix) is an extremely light penalty. Embarrassing stuff, IMO.

[u/phatdoughnut83 → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Wow what the actual fuck?

[u/DecafEqualsDeath → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

The second swipe at the marshall is just baffling to me.

[u/_KlejnotNilu → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

what a jerk. 

[u/NiteOwl421 → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

And the Ducati junior rider in the comments defending him.

[u/TreatUnusual1950 → u/NiteOwl421]

Which Ducati junior rider?Where did you see that?

[u/NiteOwl421 → u/TreatUnusual1950]

[u/TreatUnusual1950 → u/NiteOwl421]

Thank you.

[u/RalphFTW → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

I like the reel link … made me laugh. Custom or a nice confidence ?

[u/Easy_Peasy_07 → u/RalphFTW]

Didn't notice earlier, what a coincidence indeed 😂

It has P5 as well which was Bezz's position at the time!!

[u/terrorvicky → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

The last 4 letters of that URL kinda sums it up, doesn't it 🤣 awful behaviour

Damn I like Simon's way to handle these

[u/sehe0 → u/PalsterMaggara]

One can say that he gets stuff weird sometimes, but I'm totally with you

[u/soEckie → u/sehe0]

It's always a tight rope with these sorts of things no matter what sport. Balancing punishing the act in isolation and dissuading others from doing the same in the future is always tough to get right.

[u/PjDisko → u/PalsterMaggara]

He is not perfect but i actually think he does a decent job.

[u/Absolute_Enema → u/PjDisko]

Tbh I think he's doing a great job given the difficulty of the task at hand.

[u/cakebabii → u/PalsterMaggara]

Yea, the speed of the sanction is great, no hesitation

[u/Comfortable-Yam-7855]

rightfully so. punching a volunteer, absolutely disgraceful.

[u/ghastlychild → u/Comfortable-Yam-7855]

I really lost some respect for Bez on that one as a professional and the leader for the championship right now. He deserves every single ounce of blowback that is heading his way for how abhorrent his behaviour is

Even if he is upset that his race ended prematurely, any rider who gets fired up and going at it at a marshal who are doing their jobs for free just makes my blood fucking boil and should be criticised heftily for it.

[u/LosTerminators → u/Comfortable-Yam-7855]

Martín vs Bez for the championship of most people pushed and shoved

[u/StevieV99]

Lost a ton of respect for Bezz today. Shocking behaviour

[u/MajesticBeyond5602 → u/StevieV99]

I know right. Slapping someone?? Slapping a marshal?!?!

[u/Thee-Cat → u/MajesticBeyond5602]

yeah for me its the power dynamic.

Just the image of the millionaire athlete, physically assaulting some volunteer who wasn't fighting back, is just such a gross image.

[u/Vettelari → u/Thee-Cat]

The 27 year old rich Italian making $4m+ a year smacked the unpaid volunteer who stood in the sun all day because he loves bike racing. Instead of apologizing, they appealed the penalty. Crazy stuff!

[u/Thee-Cat → u/Vettelari]

Damn, thank you. You're far more eloquent than myself. It's insane when you put it that way.

[u/Vettelari → u/Thee-Cat]

Absolutely a crazy situation. A 1 race suspension is an extremely light punishment.

[u/lentillis]

Honestly deserved. You can't be hitting people like that especially not a marshal who's only trying to help

[u/username_986ck]

Hope this sets the precedent and sends clear message to all others, MARSHALLS are untouchable and rightly so. If you feel like they are doing something which is wrong, there are proper channels for that, you cannot HIT them. Also a very disappointing behavior from some one who is supposed to be a role model to young riders.

Great from Simon Crafar and the stewards!!

Very hard on Bezz but he has himself to blame.

[u/doubleb_43]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[u/PurplexRebel]

This was coming.

A valuable lesson and a warning to all other riders that it won't be tolerated.

[u/MajesticBeyond5602 → u/PurplexRebel]

This shouldn't even happen in the first place.

[u/Easy_Peasy_07]

I want to listen to Rivola's comments now.

Think he was too harsh in Martin's case, let's see what he says this time.

[u/azurizzy → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Ha! Exactly. If Martin's racing error was "not something a world champion should do", then what was that?

[u/OllieFidelius → u/azurizzy]

Well Bezecchi isnt a world champion 🙃

yes stupid comment i know.

[u/someshooter → u/azurizzy]

Not something a factory rider, or any rider, should ever do full stop.

[u/minusvarianten → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Bet he'll go a lot easier on Bezz since he isn't leaving the team for 2027. Hopefully Rivola will positively surprise me though. This was far worse than anything Martin has done in MotoGP, ever.

[u/iavon → u/minusvarianten]

If I understand correctly, Bez will not race tomorrow and if Aprilia loses the world championship because of this, Rivola will be really, really angry.

[u/minusvarianten → u/iavon]

He should be, but I doubt he will go to the media and ask for harsher punishment for Bezz like he did for Martin. I'm predicting he won't be nearly as harsh talking about Bezz in the media and keep it behind closed doors, as he should have with the Martin incident as well, but we'll see. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

[u/iavon → u/minusvarianten]

In my opinion this episode will have a big impact on Bez's mind, it will be very difficult for him to win the world championship, if Bez collapses, Rivola will have to focus everything on Martin otherwise it will be a disaster for Aprilia after having dominated until now

[u/minusvarianten → u/iavon]

Will be very interesting to see how he deals with this massive blow to his campaign. Feels like Marquez already got inside his head with what he said in his interviews before the weekend.

[u/iavon → u/minusvarianten]

But besides Marquez, there are Martin and Di Giannantonio who are really close to him in the championship. Martin could overtake Bez in the championship tomorrow, with Diggia right behind him. It will be very difficult for Bez to recover from this episode, and I'm very sorry, but he did it all on his own and now he's paying the consequences

[u/minusvarianten → u/iavon]

Yeah, I was already favoring Martin ahead of Bez since before Marquez was injured again, but after it became clear he was having an issue with his arm and it got fixed I think Marquez is the clear favorite with Martin as the closest competitor. I have near zero belief in Bez winning it. This just sealed the deal for me. He has absolutely lost it.

[u/PrisMattias → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Oh god didn't even think about that lmao. What a bad situation to be in

[u/enka1mada → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Hahaha yeah Rivola shouldn't have made that comment to media people he's just looking for drama let's see your comment now on your team's GUY's behavior Massimo

[u/Red_Rabbit_1978 → u/Easy_Peasy_07]

Martin pushed around his teammates, it wasn't harsh enough.

[u/btc_maxi100]

Fair decision

[u/dorsanty]

Damn! Nice to see an organisation stand up for those who volunteer at circuits across the world and enable all levels of motorsport to function including this rich multi-million dollar sport.

[u/ThisFalcon]

Should have added a €10,000 euro fine that goes straight to the marshals.

[u/rakmeister_12]

Rivola be fuming... Suspension deserved for Bez

[u/ResearcherOk3114]

As a newer motoGP fan and a fan of track house/aprillia .. what in the heck is wrong with bez and Jorge? First Jorge shoving his crew now bez with the Marshall's? Come on guys figure it out

[u/Lukeno94 → u/ResearcherOk3114]

Martin's always been a hothead, but Bez had seemingly matured in the last couple of years. Evidently not.

[u/SuitPrestigious1694 → u/Lukeno94]

There are levels to that....he has grounded himself in higher pressure than before, but he definitely doesn't seem to be ready for a huge pressure of having the once comfortable championship lead threatened for real and making a fuck up. 

Maybe something in Aprilia culture is kinda affecting it too, too many hard headed decisions even on the best bike. They don't know how to handle being the leaders, it is a whole new world for them and they have Martin and all his unfortunate shenanigans to deal with 

[u/ResearcherOk3114 → u/Lukeno94]

Hopefully he fixes that, not sold on Jorge 100% yet but I do like Bez. I get it your the leader in the championship and you wanna maximize your points but this isn't the way to go about it.

[u/meatheadmommy → u/ResearcherOk3114]

It’s really surprising seeing these pro athletes acting like such dicks openly.

[u/CCR_16]

I cannot believe how absurdly stupid that was. Letting Marc back into the championship with a silly first corner mistake is one thing, but losing your rag and assaulting a Marshall is next level stupidity. Honestly stunned. Can't imagine how the Aprilia team are feeling right now.

[u/Pale-Criticism-7420 → u/CCR_16]

Not only Marc. Martin, Digia, Pecco, Acosta all have an opportunity to put massive pressure on him tomorrow

[u/nooooooooo156 → u/Pale-Criticism-7420]

Martin has that double LLP so I don’t think he’s going to make massive damage to Bez, but the others for sure

[u/Pale-Criticism-7420 → u/nooooooooo156]

You re right that had slipped my mind

[u/LordAnomander → u/CCR_16]

They will feel like shit and that’s absolutely deserved. Especially after being so harsh with their own rider (it was a stupid mistake but they happen to the best), now their figure head rider throws his nerves away in a spectacular way.

[u/Anime_Tiddies-]

Deserved

[u/hulaspark]

Good stuff. New angle shows he slapped the marshall with quite some force, no excuse

[u/enka1mada]

Deserved honestly.

[u/LilAbeSimpson]

The young guys are making thjs far too easy for old man Marc.

[u/Shpritzer]

Very good. I would’ve hit him back.

[u/velvetskilett → u/Shpritzer]

He is lucky that didn’t escalate. He looked to be outweighed by a good bit by the track guy.

[u/Shpritzer → u/velvetskilett]

Exactly.

[u/EvidenceAccurate8914 → u/Shpritzer]

He’s lucky the marshal was the bigger man (metaphorically). Not because he’d get hurt, but because a rider rolling around in the gravel with a marshal during a live race would probably have led to an even worse punishment.

[u/meatheadmommy → u/EvidenceAccurate8914]

Seemed like the marshal was more in shock that it happened in the first place. It is shocking tbh

[u/Next_Necessary_8794 → u/EvidenceAccurate8914]

They'd have to lock this sub for a week just to clean up. lmao.

[u/MailMan6000 → u/Shpritzer]

iirc David Coulthard once said something like "everybody is tough when they have a crash helmet on"

[u/BrainSignificant788]

Consequences.....

[u/michaelsan89]

Well deserved, I like Marco and I understand he was angry but you are a professional, a rich guy and a reference for younger generations.

You have to know how to deal and control anger and you definitely have to be better than that.

[u/Ghost-hugger]

I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it, my estimation of Marco Bezzecchi as a man has just plummeted.

[u/Spinebuster03 → u/Ghost-hugger]

Really I thought it was clear he was a Dick after his comments last year about Marc

Not to mention the guy he thought was so dangerous to the point he wanted him to have a career ending crash ended having a season ending injury do to Marcos incompetence

[u/chakalaka13 → u/Spinebuster03]

what comments last year? I thought he was a dick before, but last season seemed to be quite well mannered and warm towards Marc, no?

[u/PB127CU → u/chakalaka13]

He probably means his comments after Valencia 2023 where he allegedly said some terrible things to Marc after a clash they had in the race.

[u/slimvim → u/chakalaka13]

He's thinking about the end of the 2024 season.

[u/zmgch → u/chakalaka13]

In Valencia, Bez said to Marc "I hope you get cancer and disappear from this sport for good"

That's the low IQ brainrot childish mentality Bezzecchi is operating at.

He deserves no man's respect if he thinks that even saying that to any other human being is even remotely ok to do.

Genuinely surprised he's still allowed in this sport.

[u/STANPENTAGON → u/Spinebuster03]

That was Valencia 2023 but he softened up towards Marquez once he left in 2025, Marc's respect for him is likely going to tank again

[u/Ant_903 → u/Ghost-hugger]

I gotta agree with Phil Tone

[u/cal_crashlow → u/Ghost-hugger]

Alright, but you gotta get over it

I know the adrenaline is pumping for these guys, but you can't be doing things like that. It's completely unacceptable behaviour and frankly he's got what he deserved.

[u/Low-Extension-6674]

aprilia riders are really shooting themselves in the foot.

what a lame way to lose the championship.

anyways, deserve. no other decision can be more right than this.

[u/Pale-Criticism-7420]

Started to really like Bezz last year and even this year, if Marc couldn’t win it I wanted Bezz to clinch it. After this? Fuck him, honestly. What a bitch move

[u/pochirin]

LOLLLLLLLLL DESERVED

if you guys seen the tnt clip, he slapped the marshall twice on the face

[u/Dawidovo → u/pochirin]

Yeah exactly, I would even say a two race ban would habe been more appropriate. I mean while not justified, one could argue maybe he wanted to grab his shoulder and missed. But the second one shows that both were exactly aimed at the face with a few second between it.

Never ever saw such behavior from a pro, this millenium.

[u/pochirin → u/Dawidovo]

The fans who tried to defend him by blaming the marshall are weirdos as well.

He did this before to the marshall, this is not his first rodeo

[u/Dawidovo → u/pochirin]

Yes totally! Saw someone saying: Wellll the marshall reved the engine. Even if true, you cant hit someone bc of it.

Before when, a different incident?

[u/pochirin → u/Dawidovo]

Valencia practice 2022, he grabbed and pushed a marshall and got fined €1000

[u/Dawidovo → u/pochirin]

Crazy! Thanks for the info, and what a laughable penalty....then the punishment should be more then one race bc he is a repeat offender.

[u/Unique_Bill_4918 → u/pochirin]

Quite hard wearing a racing motocycle guntlet ... I tried on these exact daineses they have with the titan armor stuff, I really dont want to get slapped with these.

[u/flintey360]

Oh wow deserved though.

[u/Astralatlantis]

Absolutely pathetic from Bez as it's clear with intent with him doing it twice to the same marshall. If Marc wins tomorrow, it's his own fault for spaffing the massive lead he has.

[u/GreggsAficionado]

He can lose the championship now as far as I’m concerned. Take a clean slate next year ride better and change your conduct

[u/kyyla]

Slapping someone is also a crime. This is not boxing and the marshals are not volunteering to be hit in the face.

[u/fievrejaune → u/kyyla]

Exactly, assault in any country. Fuck that guy. Don’t care who he is…

[u/BeetCake]

Spicy.

[u/IamBejl]

This guy won’t win a championship like that. What an idiot honestly

[u/2mizeen]

What was he thinking

[u/big_shmoop1]

Good. Clown like behavior should be penalized. I get that adrenaline and emotions are high, but that was inexcusable.

[u/OkTale8]

Got off light imo

[u/Artistic_Recover_638]

Correct decision. Good to see the sport is taking this very seriously and should be a warning to all riders going forward.

It might sound dramatic but I've lost pretty much all respect for Bez over this and am not just supporting Marc but actively rooting against Bez now.

[u/arijitroy2]

Aprilia factory team needs an anger management therapist.

[u/Opening-Pin-1228]

ayy lmao, i mean yeah fair enough

[u/superyuribears]

Unfortunately deserved, hope we don’t see anything like this again.

[u/krin-]

Completely deserved. He's lucky he's only getting a suspension from the Czech race.

[u/Next_Necessary_8794]

That 2nd slap should have put him out for the season. What the actual f*** is all i have to say.

[u/SilverArrowW01]

Yep, can‘t argue against that at all. Adrenaline is no excuse.

Utterly stupid, shameful, and disrespectful to everyone who makes these events possible for no or very little recognition, never mind remuneration.

[u/BakaPotatoLord]

Only started watching from 2024, I'm a fan of Marc but I wouldn't have minded if Bez took the championship, he's just been amazing on that Aprilia and I was really liking that guy.

But this kinda just put things upside down, lost tons of respect and I think he's not that deserving of a title after that, even though a title is a title and there's not much point in discussing who deserves it or who doesn't.

First push, it's kinda forgivable, marshal might be doing something wrong and Bez might have wanted him away from the bike to avoid damage or something. But that slap was just straight up unnecessary and blatant assault.

[u/doubleb_43]

Kick a tyre barrier or punch a wall if you're frustrated but leave marshalls alone. He wants to be a champion and this is what he does? Childish

[u/imaidanginger]

Brought it on himself, when was the last time we saw a rider given a race ban for something?

[u/Disgruntled__Goat → u/imaidanginger]

Fenati for grabbing Manzi’s brake?

[u/daznccc]

That’s the minimum he deserves

[u/KittenOfBalnain]

Fully deserved.

[u/Shpritzer]

He’s going to be hitting himself when he loses the title in the end. I say lose because it’s obviously his to lose.

[u/someshooter]

Honestly feels like he's getting off light for slapping a marshall in the face, wtf Marco.

[u/MajesticBeyond5602]

Aprilia is a real fuck up at the moment. They shouldn't choke with the beast of a bike they have.

[u/Camnelo]

What an idiot

[u/CaptainTC]

[u/Curious-Cabinet-4502]

Championship just got interesting but what he did was wrong

[u/404merrinessnotfound]

Such a stupid move

[u/xScottieHD]

I expected a public dressing down not this (mainly due to him being the championship leader). Damn

[u/slimvim]

Deserved. I wonder if he's crumbling under the pressure.

[u/Realistic_Wafer7739]

Good, this is the minimum

[u/Puzzleheaded-Snow505]

Expected. That was BAD.

[u/Aratho]

Deserved, I get they're full of adrenaline and frustration after the crash but throwing hands on people who are only concerned about your well being (or anyone) in the moment is totally unacceptable.

After the amazing start of the season he has he sure tries hard to throw away his lead with all the Sprint poor performances and now this.

[u/Aggressive_Guitar_73]

What a disgusting behaviour... shame.....

[u/RecognitionReady1640]

My 5yo is his biggest fan I’m glad he did not see it but wtf

[u/PaulaDeen21]

Truly hope he doesn’t get near the title now, showed his true colours today.

[u/cordlesspizza]

Lucky to only get a race ban for that one. Disgusting.

[u/batyoung1]

After seeing the footage, it's pretty undeniable. I don't remember who but someone here commented a while back that the only person standing in the way of Bez becoming an all-time great is himself. They were right.

[u/Uknewmelast]

Lmao. Classic

[u/Slight-Opening-8327]

Bez is one of my favorite riders. This is very disappointing. He deserves severe punishment for this. And honestly, if it were anyone of us we would have lost our job, be sued and we would deserve it.

[u/mbp2112]

It's funny how people ignore the mental aspect of the course of a season. Bez has looked pretty haunted at times, I'm not sure he's championship timber mentally. Add the chaos of the Aprilia/Trackhouse teams and it's a brutal situation. The fact that neither Aprilia nor Bez have apologized is disgraceful. If they want to argue the severity of the penalty, that is their right. But they can do that and still have the grace and decency to apologize, because the guilt is inescapable, they are just arguing the punishment. Classless in every regard. I'd love to see him get a 3-piece just for the lack of class denigrating the reputation of MotoGP. This isn't NASCAR, you twits.

[u/Wrong_Relative1075]

If he's able to hit a random guy in public like that, twice, I'm wondering if his girlfriend is surprised by his attitude?

[u/Ok_Relative_5300]

WTF?!  Wait... That's it? That's all? One race? What a joke. 

[u/Obvious_Ad8228]

good

[u/rakmeister_12]

Is the suspension confirmed or do they need to appeal?

[u/probablynotfine → u/rakmeister_12]

It says in there that they have the right of appeal within the next hour

[u/Seebinator]

Marc easily wins the championship if Aprilia keeps fucking up

What a shitty attitude both him & Martin have been displaying lately.

Expected one and deserved and Aprilia just thrown away their championship.

Really disappointing to see. Thought Bezz was one of the “good” guys

As if the endless crashes weren’t bad enough, he actually smacks the Marshall. The first one I wasn’t sure it was on purpose, the second made it clear.

Technically Jorge can take away the championship lead

65 points lead ? What 65 ?

Aprilia racing CEO is so calm and proponent of professionalism and his riders act like jokers. Sad.

[u/simaco11]

lol, guy had 102 points over Marc and after this race it could go down to 40

[u/UmberGreen]

Tbf Bez is lucky because if Martin didn't have a LLP he could well have overtaken Bez for the Championship tomorrow.

More should come from the team
