MotoGP penalty points are🌼 no longer erased at the end of each season, but ꦺinstead remain in place for one calendar year.

With that in mind, these are the MotoGP rid🔜ers that will start the 2015 season with at least one penalty point agai🃏nst their name.

Race Direction can impose between 1 and 10 points for each infringement. Points accumulate with automatic sanctions kick𓆉ing in once a rider reaches 4 points (start next race from last place), 7 points (start next race from pit lane) and 10 points (disqualification from next race)🍷.

Penalty points are in no way linked to rider♑s' championship points.

Additional punishments available to Race Direction includ♚e fines, ride through, grid or time penalties, suspensඣion, disqualification or exclusion...
