Dani Rivas has been handed a two race ban for causing a nasty accident after the end of the Moto2 warm-up session at Silꦏverstone.

New Blusens signing Rivas arrived onto the Hangar Straight, where the practice ♓starts are held, made some kind of gesture at another rider, then clashed with Steven Odendaal, bringing them bo🉐th down.

The pair then hit Xavier 𒅌Simeon and Jordi Torres, waiting stationary just ahead of them.

The full statement by𝓀 Race Direction can be seen below:

"On 1st September 2013 at the end of the M🀅oto2 class Warm Up session for the Hertz British Grand Prix at Silverstone, there was an accident involving riders number 27 Dani Rivas, 44 Steven Odendaal, 19 Xavier Simeon, and 81 Jordi Torres, with both Rivas and Odendaal requiring medical attention which ruled them out of the race.

"The results of a Race Direction investigation showed that rider number 27 Rivas was responsible for causing the crash, which is an infringement of Articl﷽e 1.21.2 of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations.

"A Race Direct♛ion hearing was called, but because Mr Rivas was in hospital receiꩲving medical attention, the first available time for the hearing was at the subsequent Grand Prix in Misano, Italy.

"The Race Direction hearing was held on 13 September 2013 with a team representative present and Mr Dani Rivas participating via telep♛hone. The decision of the Race Direction is to impose꧒ on rider number 27 Dani Rivas a suspension of two races, being rounds 14 and 15 of the 2013 season, the Gran Premio Iveco de Arag?n and the Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

"No appeal was lodged.

"The decision of the Race Direction is final."

Alex 🃏Mari?elarena is replacing the injured Rivas this weekend, when Odendaꦡal is returning to action.
