Please find attached the Notification of Sanction for MotoGP rider Pol Espargaró.

The infringement is using more than 9 engines during the season, as they fitted engine number 10 to Pol’s bike for FP2 (MotoGP is limited to 7 engines per rider per season, but teams with Concessions are allowed 9 engines per rider per season).

The standard penalty is to start the race from pit lane with a 5-second delay from the time the pit lane exit would normally open.
