The MotoGP French GP race was marked by a troubled start due to uncertainty over the weather conditions – which even caused a delay to proceedings.

On the warm-up lap, the riders were on slick tyres but realised the conditions warranted a switch to wet tyres. The white flag was shown and, with all riders in the pits, a red flag was issued for safety reasons.

But the confusion didn’t end there: on the new sighting lap before the restart, several riders on wet tyres then decided that the conditions now allowed for slicks and went to swap bikes. The result? A «tsunami» of double Long Lap penalties, as dictated by the rules, which added even more chaos.

Carlo Pernat did not like what he saw from race direction, levelling strong criticism in his usual commentary on the website GPOne.com: ‘Race direction, zero. We are at a level of amateurs loose, but how can you not delay a start with what was happening, while it was drizzling, half dry, half wet? All they had to do was delay the start by ten minutes, and everyone after that would have mounted rain tyres, and we would have had a normal race. A race made unreal by the decision of race direction, double Long Laps, bike swaps, sequential pit entries. Something regrettable, especially for rider safety. It was unbelievable’.

The rider manager then made a suggestion: ‘We need Dorna to get involved in race direction because, in front of 311,000 spectators, a record for Le Mans, it was an ugly spectacle, not of a world championship, not even of an amateur championship’.
