Marco Bezzecchi Banned from Czech Grand Prix

Marco Bezzecchi was banned from the Czech Grand Prix on June 2026.

The FIM Appeal Stewards rejected an appeal from Aprilia.

Bezzecchi pushed and struck a marshal, Ladislav, after his crash at turn three during the Sprint race.

The marshal accidentally twisted the throttle of Bezzecchi's RS-GP, causing it to rev.

Bezzecchi responded by running over to his bike and shoving the marshal in the face, then slapping him.

The FIM Appeal Stewards considered the submissions made on behalf of Bezzecchi and the evidence presented.

They recognized that riders may experience frustration and heightened emotion after an incident.

However, the stewards stated that physical aggression towards circuit personnel is wholly unacceptable.

The stewards upheld the suspension, citing the need to protect officials and maintain proper standards of behavior.

The ban from the Czech Grand Prix will likely impact Bezzecchi's standings in the MotoGP championship.

Bezzecchi's actions were deemed a serious departure from the standards of sporting conduct.

The FIM Appeal Stewards' decision sends a strong message to competitors throughout the championship.

Bezzecchi's suspension serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting circuit personnel.

The incident occurred on June 2026, and the FIM Appeal Stewards' decision was made after careful consideration of the evidence.
