#MotoGP Favoritism. A Tale in 3 Acts.

Act II: #MM93 vs #MO88 (w/a brief appearance by #JM89)

Further: #JM89 tosses his toys from the pram to the media but misses no time. #MO88 misses one race out of an abundance of caution, given the back-to-back. #MM93 has missed two races and counting.

#MotoGP Favoritism. A Tale in 3 Acts.

Act II: #MM93 vs #MO88 (w/a brief appearance by #JM89)

The Hows: First lap into the first race of the season, #MM93 locks up the front, clipping #JM89 who continues on. While #MM93 highsides, his bike takes out #MO88.

The Aftermath: #MM93 tearfully and profusely apologizes, Race Direction decides he was being overly agressive and gives him 2 LL to be served at the next race.

Why did the MotoGP Court of Appeal agree to delay the Double Long Lap Penalty on Marc Marquez for his Portimão clash with Miguel Oliveira?

I read the judgement so you don't have to, and tried to set it out in clear and understandable terms.

- What the appeal is about
- Why the Court agreed with Honda
- Why the Court thinks its important the full appeal is heard before Marquez serves any penalty
