Dani Pedrosa hit with tyre pressure warning at San Marino MotoGP
The KTM wildcard rider faꦐiled to ruဣn with high enough pressure in his front tyre.
The 37-year-old - who is MotoGP's most successful ever rider to have never won a championship - rolled back the years brilliantly this weekend at Misano, culminating in a P4 finish in Sunday's grand priಞx.
But, he then became the second rider to fall foulꦏ of the new tyre pressure regulation, receiving an official warning for 🐠his first offence of the year.
Last weekend, Ma🦩verick Vinales was given the same punishment as he💙 became the first-ever rider to break the minimum tyre pressure threshold.
Like Vinales in Barcelona, Pedrosa keeps his P4 finishꦇ because his punishment was only an official warning.
A second offence from any riꦫder would result in a three-second post-race time♓ penalty.
A third offence would be a six-second penalty, a fourth o⛎ffence would be a 12-second penalty.
Riders must stay above the minimum tyre pressure, as set by Mich♎elin, for at least 50% of a grand prix or 30%⛦ of a sprint race.
