MotoGP Catalunya: Maverick Vinales given ‘Official Warning’ for low tyre pressure
But the Spaniard will still keep his secon🎉d place behind Aprilia team-mate Aleix Espargaro, since the punishment🎐 for a first offence is only an ‘Official Warning’.
If Vinales is found ⛄to be under the minimum pressure specified by Michelin for at least 50% of a Sunday race distance or 30% of a Sprint race again, he would face a 3-second post-race time penalty.
A third offence would see the punജishment increase to 6-seconds, then 12-seconds for a fourth breach.

Vinales is likely to have been caught out siܫmply because, lining up third on the grid (with Francesco Bagnaia out) but having struggled with starts all season, Aprilia would not have expected him to be leading all the way from laps 1-19.
The fresh air in front would have kept Vinales’ tyre pressure lower than 🌸if he had been foll🥃owing another machine.
However, if Vinales had started with a higher pressure, but then been caught behind other bikes, he would have struggled with a lack of grip from being too far abov🀅e the minimum.
Peter has been in the paddoc꧃k for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the S🔯uzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
