Like most of the pa🦩ddock, KTM MotoGP rider Pol Espargaro was stunned by Romano Fenati's actions in Sunday's Misano Moto2 race.

🌺Angry after an earlier clash with Stefano Manzi, Fenati reached over and grabbed his rivals front ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚstraight while accelerating at highspeed on a straight.

Manzi ke🐻pt control, with Fenati black flagged and later given a two-race ♕ban. Manzi received a six-place grid penalty for forcing Fenati off-track in their earlier clash.

"This is something that we hope to never, ever, ever see again in racing,"🎃 Espargaro said. "This is not racing. I feel shame if someone watches the races on TV and sees a professional rider do something like that.

"I mean, you can be frustrated. You can be really angry. But this is somꦰething that riders can never dඣo."

Speaking before the two-race ban was announced, Espargarܫo added:

"There is no [right] punishment, even a ban of one or two races. A professional rider cannot do something like that. I mean for sure Race Direct𓄧ion will take the measures they ౠthink. It's their job.

"But whatever they do, it's not going to be enough beca꧋use someone who does that is not a professional rider and there is no place🌌 in racing for riders who are not professional."

Valentino Rossi, whose VR46 team sacked Fenati midway through the 2016 season, said: "It's bad t꧙o see what happened because it's very dangerous, so is very good that nobody was hurt."

Manzi rides for Forward Racing, which Fenati is due to join next season for the start of the team's new collabor🐬ation with MV Agusta. The deal is now said to ওbe in doubt.
