Espargaro handed another penalty for blocking

Aprilia MotoGP rider has been handed a six-place grid penalty for the German Grand Prix for "riding in an irresponsible manner". Espargaro was punished for baulking Marc Marquez during the latter's hot lap at Turn 12 in the closing moments of Saturday morning's third practice session at the Sachsenring. It comes two races after he was handed a three-place penalty for a run-in with Jorge Lorenzo at Barcelona, with the sanction twice as severe this time around. Espargaro will have to fight his way through Q1 in this afternoon's qualifying session after only managing the 12th quickest time in FP3. Want motorsport news in your inbox?
