MotoGP governing body the FIM has confirmed that it will be reviewing the actions of race marshals following the collision between Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix. However, race results will not be modified.
Since the race, Ducati’s Rossi has taken full blame for the Turn 1 coming together, which resulted in the Honda rider and erstwhile championship leader failing to finish the race. However, Jerez marshals then appeared to assist only the Italian, as Stoner struggled to rejoin the race.
The official FIM statement reads as follows:
‘Following the collision between Rossi and Stoner during the MotoGP race of the Spanish Grand Prix on 3 April in Jerez, the Race Direction has decided to organise a hearing with the Clerk of the Course and the Chief Marshal in order to review the incident and to hear the explanation of the officials in charge.
Due to the fact that the final decision of the Race Direction will not affect the result of the race, the hearing will be organized on Thursday 28 April in Estoril, Portugal.’
