The FIM has ‘ruled’ (big laugh here) regarding the actions of the marshals at Jerez after ‘The Incident’ when Casey Stoner complained about the marshals playing favourites and not helping him as much as they did Valentino Rossi to try to restart the race.
The FIM has come to the following conclusion:“After reviewing various videos of the incident between Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner during the race of the Grand Prix of Spain on 3 April 2011 and hearing the explanation from Juan Alvarez, Director of the Circuito de Jerez, the Race Direction has decided that the behaviour of the track marshals was safe and appropriate.
”“The Race Direction recommends the current rules be reviewed by the Grand Prix Commission in order to study possible solutions that may results in better procedures.
”Stoner has decided that he’s not going risk again what happened in Jerez, so Honda has modified the slipper clutch so that the bikes can now be bump-started.
