Johann Zarco saw his hopes of securing championship points at the Japanese Grand Prix dashed after a costly procedural error during the morning practice session.
The Frenchman candidly admitted that he simply forgot about the championship's updated engine restart regulations for 2026, which strictly forbid riders from attempting to push-start their motorcycles trackside.
The sanction stemmed from a warm-up session extended by ten minutes to evaluate tyre compounds, where a low-side crash prompted his instinctive reaction to fire up the machine once again before marshals could intervene.
Dilansir dari Crash.net, stewards quickly handed down a double long-lap penalty that severely compromised his Sunday afternoon race strategy while battling behind competitors like Maverick Vinales.
Despite showing strong initial pace and executing several overtakes following his penalty, Zarco ultimately pushed too hard while attempting a late-race maneuver, sealing a disappointing scoreless weekend for the team.
