Marco Bezzecchi Banned After Slapping Marshal at Czech MotoGP

Marco Bezzecchi has been banned from the Czech MotoGP after slapping a marshal.

The incident occurred after Bezzecchi crashed out of the Tissot Sprint in Brno.

Bezzecchi was involved in an altercation with a marshal after he crashed out of the race.

He then picked up his speed and shoved a marshal in the face to get to his vehicle.

The Aprilia Racing star was called to see the FIM MotoGP stewards after the incident occurred.

Bezzecchi was suspended from the race on June 2026, as stated in the FIM MotoGP Stewards document.

The FIM MotoGP Stewards document read: “Following a crash, you pushed and struck circuit Marshals who were trying to recover your machine.”

Bezzecchi will not take part in the Czech GP, according to the MotoGP website.

The Italian motorcycle racer could be seen walking to his bike after falling off it before the incident.

He then appeared to slap the same marshal while he was trying to recover the bike.

Bezzecchi, 27, could face further action after the incident.

The Czech MotoGP took place on June 2026, with Bezzecchi initially set to compete.

However, his suspension means he will not be able to participate in the event.

The incident has sparked controversy in the MotoGP community, with many calling for further action to be taken against Bezzecchi.

Bezzecchi's suspension is a significant blow to his season, as he was looking to make a strong impression in the Czech GP.

The Aprilia Racing team will have to regroup and adjust their strategy without Bezzecchi for the remainder of the event.

Bezzecchi's actions have been widely criticized, with many feeling that he overreacted in the situation.

The marshal involved in the incident has not been named, but it is understood that they were simply trying to do their job.

Bezzecchi's suspension serves as a reminder that riders must respect marshals and other officials at all times.

The incident has also raised questions about rider safety and the measures in place to protect them.

Bezzecchi's team will be looking to bounce back from the incident and make a strong showing in the next event.

The Czech MotoGP will continue without Bezzecchi, with other riders looking to take advantage of his absence.
