MotoGP<\/a> Stewards deemed his earlier overtake had been an \u201cunfair manoeuvre\u201d, issuing a post-race time penalty equivalent to a long lap.<\/p>\nThe official decision stated the incident was judged to be: \u201cAn unfair manoeuvre against another rider that didn\u2019t result in a crash but caused an adverse effect (loss of multiple positions).\u201d<\/p>\n
Aldeguer was thus demoted to eleventh in the final classification.<\/p>\n

Miguel Oliveira, 2025 Czech MotoGP<\/p>\n
Oliveira: Aldeguer \u201cpushed me off\u201d<\/p>\n
Oliveira was clear that Aldeguer had been at fault.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was already in Turn 7 with my knee down when Ferm\u00edn came in where there was absolutely no space and pushed me off, causing me to lose four or five positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat basically ruined my race.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the Portuguese rider added that he was already struggling with puzzling tyre issues:<\/p>\n
\u201cEven before that, something strange happened with the tyres. I couldn\u2019t get anywhere near the pace I had in warm-up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did a 1\u201953 in the warm-up, and in the race, I couldn\u2019t go below 1\u201955. Really strange. There\u2019s definitely something to analyse there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for Fermin, there\u2019s nothing more to say – he got his penalty after the race, so that\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aldeguer: \u201cI didn\u2019t touch him\u201d<\/p>\n
Aldeguer, meanwhile, defended his actions and expressed frustration over the delayed communication of his penalty:<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t feel that the overtake was on the limit. I didn\u2019t touch him. Maybe I went a little bit wide, but it\u2019s a race.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I will go to Race Direction because nobody said anything to me. I just saw on the screen: \u2018long lap for irresponsible riding\u2019, and then \u2018+3 seconds\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they had told me earlier, I would have done it in the race.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brad Binder, Pol Espargaro and Oliveira\u2019s team-mate Jack Miller were promoted one place by Aldeguer\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n
