The Pramac Racin💖g rider’s fall was a less than ideal start to a Sunday which might become fr🦩ustrating for him.
Martin was penalised late on Saturday night - many hours after the sprint ▨race, where he caused a Turn 1 pile-up.
He was accused by Stewards of ‘riding in an irresponsible mannꦦer causing a crash’.
Martin started from 12th on the grid in the sprint, and finished on the podium𝔍. He kept his podium finish despite being penalised.
He will again begin from 12th at the Austrian MotoGP on Sunday but must serve a long lap penal💛ty.
