Enea Bastianini thinks it isn't "fair" to lose his Motegi Sprint podium for track limits on the final lap 🀏 What do you think?

MotoGP riders drop one place for ANY track limit offences while battling on the last lap

Well, it's not a rule made specially for Enea on the fly. If something wasn't fair, it was he not being fair to himself doing that error. But it was a bummer given the circumstances. He kind of deserved a podium. So what if 3 faster riders crashed ahead of him, eh?

I do think it's a bit harsh in these circumstances, but it's a difficult one to police. Opening it up to interpretation depending on how much of an advantage someone gets from would just gives stewards an even bigger headache

The track limit rules have been there for long enough... Brad Binder lost a podium in the 2023 Dutch GP at Assen for a track limit offence on the final lap just like Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin received in the Motegi Sprint. Yes, what they gained was negligible, but the rules are the same for everyone.
