Red Bull KTM Moto3 rider Karel Hanika will s🍬tart the French Grand Prix from pit lane after receiving an unprecedented 5 penalty points from Race Direction.

According to the Aspar Mahindra team, Juanfran Guevara 'was hit from behind by an angry Hanika' on the slow down lap after Sunday's Jerez race, leav💟ing the Spaniard with a fractured right collarbone for which he will require surgery.

"The truth is that I don't understand exactly what happened, nor the reaction of Karel Hanika, after today's race," said Guevara. "On the last lap, at the Nieto and Peluqui section, I overtook ⛎two riders - one of them Hanika. When I was passing him, we brusheಌd into one another without any consequences.

"After we had finished the race, at th𒊎e end of the straight when I had slowed down, suddenly I noticed that someone was knocking into me along my footrest. Then I saw it was him and could not quite understand his reaction. Hopefully Race Direction will clarify what happene♒d."

According to Aspar, Race Direction subsequently sanctioned Hanika with five penalty points. That means Hanika now has a to𓆏tal of seven penalty points to his name, meaning he will become the first rider to star𒁃t from pit lane.
