Fox News
MotoGP rider Fabio Quartararo was penalized after the Catalunya GP for opening his racing suit and exposing his chest during the race. The Frenchman is the series point leader this season.
The French rider opened his suit to remove his chest protector with about five laps to go and couldn't get it closed back up, leaving him looking like famed model Fabio Lanzoni on the cover of a racing-themed paperback. Onboard video from the Frenchman's bike shows the suit becoming fully opened as he finished the race in third position on the track. He had already been hit with a three-second penalty for exceeding track limits before the officials determined after the race that he had violated the rider safety equipment rules and added another three seconds to his finishing time which dropped him to sixth place.More Related News
