There are plenty of ways to throw away a championship lead. Marco Bezzecchi found a new one.
Bezzecchi’s Saturday at Brno got dramatically worse when the world championship leader was suspended from Sunday’s Czech Grand Prix following an altercation with marshals during the Sprint.
The ban is fully deserved. It’s also a staggering act of self-sabotage from a rider who, until that moment, had looked entirely in control of a ***** le fight he started the weekend leading.
The Italian was running fifth when he crashed at Turn 3 on the penultimate lap of the Brno sprint.
As marshals were lifting his Aprilia RS-GP from the gravel trap, one of them accidentally twisted the throttle, causing the engine to rev – at which point Bezzecchi ran over.
