What is MotoGP's official position on the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:use of team orders, you might ask.

In brief, there are no regulations tha✱t specifically mention such tactics.

Instead any behaviour invo♔lving a rider trying to help their team-mate, or hinder a rivꦍal, simply falls under rule 1.21.2:

"Riders must ride in a responsible manner which does not cause danger to other competitors or participants, eꦅither on the track or in the pitlane.

"Any infringement of th✅is r✤ule may be penalised by the FIM MotoGP Stewards."

In other words, if a rider wants (or is told) to let a tꦦeam-mate past - and does so without 🐽causing a danger to other competitors - that is fine. But if, in letting their team-mate pass (an intentional action), they were to cause an accident, they would be in trouble.

The same rule applies in situations where a rider employs 'go slow' tactics to back-up the field, as used by Jorge Lorenzo when trying to bridge a points gap to Marc Marquez 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:in ꦉtheir 2013 Valencia t﷽itle showdown.

It's impossible to prove if a rider is pushi🐻ng at 100% and as long as no irresponsible danger is deemed to have been caused, no rule is broken. In practical terms that usually means as long as no rider falls as a direct result of another rider's actions.

The possibility of team orders is likely to be raised during the remain🔴ing five rounds, since the top three riders - all within just 16 points, a record for this stage of the season - each represent a different factory.

Honda'🧜s Marc Marquez and Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso are tied on 199 points, wꦇith Maverick Vinales third for Yamaha.

Fourth place Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) is 42 points behind, with Dani♑ Pedrosa (Honda) 49 from the top heading into this weekend's Aragon round.
