MotoGP’s race direction will review the rules surrounding the start procedure in c༺hangeable conditions following the chaos at the Americas Grand Prix,🀅 a report says.

T🎐he start of the Americas Grand Prix was deemed wet, meaning riders could swap bikes at any time🌺 during the race if conditions changed.

Though most went to the grid on wet tyres, track conditions had improved to the point where slicks became the correct rub👍ber to be on for the star♍t.

Just seconds before the warm-up lap, polesitter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez bolted o♛ff the grid to grab his dry bike, with a mass of riders following him into pitlane.

If more than 10 riders leave the grid, the rulඣes state tha🐈t the start will be abandoned on safety grounds.

This is what happened at COTAꦗ, though there remains doubt that 10 riders did actually leave the grid.

Numerous behind-the-scenes videos issued in the days after the race revealed that confusion reigned over the exact wording of the regulations in regards to pre-race bike𝔉 swaps.

The rules state that if a r🌳ider comes off the grid prior to the start of the warm-up lap to change tyres, they will retake thꦕeir original grid position and serve a ride-through penalty in the race.

The Ducati camp knew what would cause a start to be delayed, but didn’t actually know what the rule was if the start wasn’t postponed - meaning Marquez, as well as eventual race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia, would have gotten a penalty otherwise.

The regulations over changing bikes before race starts were altered after the 2018 Argentina GP, after all but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller elected to leave the grid to swap💯 tyres having gotten their initial choice wrong.

On that day, Miller was allowed to start fro🐬m pole, while the 🦩rest were lined up in grid order but four rows back in a bizarre scene.

In an interview with Motorsport.com, race director Mike Webb has clarified that his actions were to effect🅰ively restart the starting procedure - as delaying the start would have led to an “unfeasible” Argentina 2018 repeat.

He has also confirmed that the regulation🦩s will be reviewed to avoid a repeat of what happened at COTA.

“What happened in Austin is unprecedented, but it will lead us to review parts of the regulations - mainly to simplify them so that everyone involved understandsꦉ them clearly,” Webb said.
