The MotoGP penalty points list

MotoGP penalty points are no longer erased at the end of each season, but instead remain in place for one calendar year.

With that in mind, these are the MotoGP riders that will start the 2015 season with at least one penalty point against their name.

Race Direction can impose between 1 and 10 points for each infringement. Points accumulate with automatic sanctions kicking in once a rider reaches 4 points (start next race from last place), 7 points (start next race from pit lane) and 10 points (disqualification from next race).

Penalty points are in no way linked to riders' championship points.

Additional punishments available to Race Direction include fines, ride through, grid or time penalties, suspension, disqualification or exclusion...
