🚨 FIM Has Just Officially Suspended Three Riders After the Race — “They Broke My Rules and I Don’t Accept That,” Declares Jorge Viegas, Shocking the MotoGP World
💥 In a stunning post-race announcement, FIM President Jorge Viegas confirmed the immediate suspension of three MotoGP riders following the Grand Prix of San Marino. The decision, delivered just minutes after the checkered flag, sent shockwaves through the paddock. “They broke my rules and I don’t accept that,” Viegas stated firmly during a press briefing. The names revealed — Miguel Oliveira, Fabio Di Giannantonio, and Raul Fernandez — left fans and teams speechless, as all three had finished inside the top ten.
⚠️ The suspensions stem from a breach of newly enforced technical regulations, specifically related to unauthorized modifications to tire pressure sensors and onboard telemetry systems. According to FIM’s technical committee, the riders’ teams had bypassed standard calibration protocols, giving them an unfair advantage in cornering stability and braking zones. Viegas emphasized that the investigation was thorough and backed by race data, saying, “This isn’t about politics — it’s about protecting the integrity of competition.”
💬 Reactions from the MotoGP community have been intense, with some defending the riders and others demanding stricter oversight. Aprilia and Gresini Racing, both affected by the suspensions, released statements expressing disappointment but pledging full cooperation with FIM. Meanwhile, fans flooded social media with mixed emotions — some praising Viegas for his bold leadership, others accusing the federation of targeting mid-tier teams. The hashtag #MotoGPShock trended globally within hours.
🏁 As the championship battle continues, the absence of three competitive riders could dramatically alter the standings. Jorge Viegas has made it clear that no one is above the rulebook, and his actions have set a precedent for future enforcement. Whether this leads to long-term reform or deeper controversy remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: MotoGP’s fight for fairness just took a dramatic turn, and the racing world won’t forget it anytime soon.
