A rider with a bad reputation in the MotoGP paddock has been told hiღs latest punishment must act as a “turning p༺oint”.

Moto3 rider David Munoz fell foul of the rule-b🍒ook after another controversial incident at Jerez last we﷽ekend.

A crackdown in the days prior from 𒊎stewards centred around riders who, after completing a fast qualifying lap, were intentionally riding only fast enough to narrowly avoid a penalty, in order to slow down the rivals behind them.

Munoz was one of several Moto3 riders punished for exactly ღthis indiscretion, despite the steꦺwards warning them in advance.

He qual✨ified third but was sent 🅷to the back of the grid.

“They explained it on Thursday - and the very first person to receive the penalty was David Munoz,” Neil Hodgson analysed forಞ 🥂TNT Sports.

“It’s becoming very frustrating. He🌱 has a terrible reputation in this paddock, and is quite🌼 dirty on track.

“Those sorts of tactics are r🦄idiculously unsporting.

“I hope🦩 this is a turning point for him. I hope he learns his lesson.

“But, week in and week out, we seem to b♏e talking about the young Spanish rider.”

Munoz has been in trouble before this year.

He wa🐈s given a long lap penalty at Buriram after riding recklessly when battling Luca Lunetta. Munoz later🐓 crashed out without serving it.

He was ruled to be “riding in an ir🐬responsible manner causing a contact” causing “exceptionally high risk to marshals who were placed in danger”. Munoz was forced to start from the pit lane in Argentina.
