Repsol Honda To Appeal Change To Marc Marquez Penalty - An Opportunity To Clarify The Rules The Repsol Honda team has issued a press release stating that they intend to protest the change made to the penalty imposed on Marc Marquez after the incident at Portimão in which he hit Miguel Oliveira.

The original Notification of Sanction from the FIM Stewards stated that Marc Marquez was to serve a Double Long Lap Penalty at the Argentina Grand Prix at Termas de Rio Hondo. When it became clear that Marquez would miss the Argentina round of MotoGP, the FIM Stewards amended the penalty to add a clause stating that if Marquez was absent from Argentina, he would have to serve the penalty at the next race in which he participated.

The Repsol Honda statement made it very clear that what they are protesting is the change to the original penalty, rather than the penalty itself. The statement says that the original penalty issued was final and definitive, and the FIM Stewards have no grounds to change it at a later date.

It's a fair cop
