Alex Marquez has been hit with an official warning o🐼n 🐠Friday in Misano.

The Gresini rider was investigated and 🦋FIM stewards ruled that he was riding slowly on the racing line during practice for the San Marino MotoGP.

Marquez disturbed Ene🎶a Bastianini, the stewards judged🎃.

As it is a first offenc𓆉e of this kind for the season, Marquez’s punishment was limited to an official warning.

Bastianini's annoyance at Marquez's mano😼uevre was obvious.

It is the second time in five days that the younger𝔍 Marquez brother has been judged by the FIM stewards.

On Sunday in Aragon he clattered into Francesco Bagnai❀a in an ugly-looking crash, which luckily both 💯riders were unhurt from.

That was deemed a racing incident but it didn't spot a war of words between t♎hem.

Bagnaia apologised for his part in that spat. He topped Friday practice in Misano, five days🧸 afte🍎r being briefly stuck under Marquez's Ducati.

After another fa✃r less serious tangle with a factory Ducati rider, Marquez came under the spotlight again on Friday in Misano.

The Italian manufacturer's politics were already under the microscope this weekend, due to the contrasting agendas of their♎ eight rideꦚrs.

Friday's incident was much ado about nothing, but the battle🉐 lines have been drawn for the Misano round.
