Marc Márquez He will return to competition this weekend at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin. A circuit that he loves and in which he has achieved his best results in recent years. In that layout he should fulfill his double long lap penaltyalthough it is not confirmed yet.
Jorge Lorenzoin statements to ‘La Ser’, said that the Spanish pilot “would have to win that appeal”: “What is written, is written and You can’t change the rules…”
“Whether it is fair or not depends on the eyes with which the matter is looked at. But the truth is that the change is not fair for Marc Márquez, although it is surely unfair for the pilots affected by the accident in Portimao. But the regulations are so written and I would have to win that caseLawrence explains.
That appeal would cancel the penalty for a Márquez who has already won seven times in Austin. In case of being sanctioned, it would be practically impossible for him to get the eighth.
The case is in the Court of Appeal of MotoGP and the decision could be known in the next few days, just before the Grand Prix of the Americas.
Márquez made a mistake in Portimao and took the lead Miguel Oliveira. Later, in Argentina, he did not race due to suspension and now he will reappear at the Grand Prix of the Americas, in Austin.
