The WorldSBK rookie finished tenth in Race 1 after battling Garrett Gerloff during the middle part of the race, only to b🐠e disqualified several hour🐈s later.

Petrucci, who will replace Enea Bastianini at the factory L🌳enovo Ducati team for this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans, failed to provide his chest protector after giving it to his assistant post-race before the mandatory weighing over every rider.

• Rea still believes in Kawasꦜaki but “we’re so far of𒐪f battling for a race win”

Speaking to , Petrucci said: "Unfortunately we didn’t get wha🐻t we deserved. In my opinion, wha🧔t happened [in Race 1] is uncommentable. 

"You get a double Long-lap penalty for having touched the green with half a wheel; a Long-lap because you knock another rider to the ground and a disqual𓃲ification because, when I weighed myself I didn’t have my chest protector with me because my assistant, who ha♍d gone to get me water, had it." 

The penalty was given to Petrucci despite him having his chest protector on the griꦦd and racin🎀g with it, which is why the Italian was left fuming after having to pay a substantial fine without the chance of appealing. 

"The official who checks the chest protector on the grid passed by and had it as always," began Petrucci. "After the race I took everything off and g🦩ave my♑ things to my assistant, asking him to bring me a drink. 

"Meanwhile, an officia𒁃l told me to get weighed. I ha𝔍d the assistant give me my gloves back before he brought me the water, but I forgot my chest protector. 

"I weighed myself, the official asked about my protectioꦜn and I explained the situation to him. He said ‘go’ and I left. I saw him writing and thought he had added 100 grams of protection. 

"At 5pm they called me to race dir🎐ection and then disqualified me. It was as if I had raced with a 1100 en🌳gine. 

"I pa🀅id 1320 Euros, and among other things, was without a receipt to appeal the decision of the FIM stewards and who decides on💞 the appeal? Other FIM stewards.  

"It’s an incredible conflict of interest. I felt really bad about this because I’v🌟e never been disqu💖alified from something completely unfair."
