Moto2 title leader Toni Elias has been banned from ಌFriday practice at 🥀Brno for testing at Misano last Sunday.

T🐓he Gresini Moriwaki team didn't attempt to hide the test, stating in their official Brno preview:

'Before traveling to the Czech Republic the team completed a short test with Toni Elias at Misano to complete some wor📖k on aerodynamic updates and general set-up of his Moriwaki MD600.'

"The team have not stopped working throughout the summer break and recently completed a test at Misano, working on aerodynamics and set-up, in order to give Toni Elias an even more competitive bike," added team manager Fausto Gresin💫i.

But, apparently unbeknow🌸n to the team, that outing broke a ban on testing at GP circuits during the summer break and Elias - who starts this weekend's ninth round of 17 with a 42-point lead over Thomas Luthi - has now been penalised and his team fined.

"On Sunday 8th August 2010 rider Toni El?as (SPA) and G🔯resini Racing Moto2 team (ITA) practiced at the Misano World Circuit, which is an infringement to the Art. 1.15.1.2.iv of the 2010 FIM🧜 Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations," said an FIM statement

"The Race Direction has decided to impo♚se a disqualification of Friday's practice at the Cardion ab Grand Prix Czech Republic and a fine of EUR3,000. No ♒appeal has been lodged. The decision of the Race Direction is final."

Art. 1.15.1.2.iv states that teams are forbidden to practice "At any ci🦂r🐻cuit included in the Grand Prix calendar of the current year during breaks".

A 'break' is defined as "t♋wo consecutive week-ends where events are not sch✅eduled."
