[kropotkin thinks...] - Further Fallout From Misano: On Romano Fenati, And Replacing

If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.

-----------------

Misano is still casting a long shadow over the Grand Prix paddock. Or at least parts of it. Most specifically, the aftermath of Romano Fenati's disqualification after touching Stefano Manzi's brake lever during the Moto2 race, and the decision by the Reale Avintia team to draft in Frenchman Christophe Ponsson to replace the injured Tito Rabat.

First, Fenati. The Italian had the suspension of his license confirmed by the Italian federation FMI on Friday, after a hearing held in Rome. Fenati is suspended from taking part in any sporting activities sanctioned by the FMI for at least two months, while the Italian federation conducts further investigations. They will decide on further action at the end of that period.

Even if Fenati's suspension had not been upheld, he would not have been eligible to race. Fenati is serving a two-race ban during Aragon and Thailand, and will not be eligible to race in Grand Prix again until Motegi. Fenati's future is still unclear, though he is due to appear at a hearing with the FIM in Switzerland today. He himself has said he has retired from racing altogether.

With Fenati suspended, the Marinelli Snipers team have drafted in Andorran rider Xavi Cardelus to take the Italian's place. Cardelus has already made seven appearances at European rounds this year as a wildcard, in anticipation of making the step up to a full-time ride in Moto2 in 2019. The intention is that Cardelus will replace Fenati for the rest of the season, after making his first appearance for the team at Aragon.
