Marquez was found guilty of riding ‘in an irresponsible manner being slow on the racing line and disturbing another ride’ with Iannone remonstrating wit🦄h Marquez on track during the flashpoint.

Following a Stewards review of the incident Marquez has been handed 🐼a six-place grid p♔enalty and will start from seventh place – promoting Johann Zarco to pole position – ahead of tomorrow’s Malaysian MotoGP.

It marks the second time this season Marquez has lost pole position in a post-qualifying review following his 🀅three-place grid drop at the United States♍ MotoGP when he was found guilty of the same offence and obstructing Movistar Yamaha’s Maverick Vinales.

The second offence has brought Marquez a pen🔴alty worth double his drop at Circuit of the Americas.
