The Aprilia Racing star was called to see the FIM MotoGP stewards after the incident occurred. Bezzecchi was suspended from the race on June 2026, as stated in the FIM MotoGP Stewards document.

What comes next?

The FIM MotoGP Stewards document read: “Following a crash, you pushed and struck circuit Marshals who were trying to recover your machine.” Bezzecchi will not take part in the Czech GP, according to the MotoGP website. The Italian motorcycle racer could be seen walking to his bike after falling off it before the incident. He then appeared to slap the same marshal while he was trying to recover the bike.

The incident has sparked controversy in the MotoGP community, with many calling for further action to be taken against Bezzecchi.

The marshal involved in the incident has not been named, but it is understood that they were simply trying to do their job.
