Massimo Rivola explains why Aprilia is appealing Marco Bezecic’s ‘severe’ penalty in stewards case

Speaking after Speedwick Czech Grand PrixMassimo Rivola was asked why Aprilia decided to appeal Marco Bezecic’s race ban.

While Rivola admitted the penalty was justified, he and Apria Bezecci felt they were being treated more harshly than other drivers after similar incidents in the past.

“There is no question that the punishment was warranted. We also apologize to Marshall. However, the punishment seemed disproportionate to us. I expected a serious punishment like a heavy fine or a gridiron penalty, but not a race ban.”

“In the past, there have been a number of similar situations where threatened drivers lost control – I’m thinking of the incident with Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro (Note: Silverstone GP 2025).

“At that time, it didn’t produce any results, such severe punishments were not given before. But I want to emphasize again: we accept this. There is no tolerance for this kind of behavior.

We have to distinguish – the first attempt at editing where Marco tries to ‘save’ the bike after the accident makes perfect sense to me. Anything that comes after that is unacceptable.

Massimo Rivola says Marco Bezecchi’s reaction was ‘unacceptable’ despite penalty disappointment.

In a separate interview with AsRivola admitted that while Bezecchi was right to be upset, the way he responded to the case was totally unacceptable.

“Yes, the truth is, if you look at the pictures, he was not walking calmly (in quotes), he started running when he saw the engine rev hitting the controller, because the wheel was spinning at exactly 165 kilometers per hour.

“So, if the marshal had picked up the engine, where would we have picked up the engine… Other than that, the signal is unacceptable; that’s all.”

“His response was, ‘What’s happening to my motorcycle?’ When he thinks, it is normal for the observer to know that there is a dangerous situation. But I repeat, the response is unacceptable.

Bezchichi’s response showed a lack of maturity.Something he could afford to chase his first MotoGP World Championship.
