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

With that in mind, these are the MotoGP riders that will s𝐆tart the 2015 season with at least one penalty point against their name.

Race Direction can impose🦋 between 1 and 10 points for each infringement. Points accumulate with automatic sanctions kicking 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).

Penꦑalty points are in no way l🎀inked to riders' championship points.

Additional punishments available to Race Direction include fines, ride t꧟hrough, grid or time penalties, suspension, disqualification or exclusion...
