Why priorities are wrong in MotoGP
MotoGP riders are now being fined for obscene hand gestures. Why are organisers clamping down on that, but at Aragon allowed a rider who suffered memory loss to take part in the race?
Two things happened on Saturday during the Aragon Grand Prix weekend that were massively perplexing. One is that a rider, Nicolo Bulega of Valentino Rossi's Moto3 team, was fined for displaying an "offensive hand gesture".
The other, and the more disturbing of the two, is that Danilo Petrucci completed the day's MotoGP track activity despite taking a hefty knock to his head during the morning practice session.
