moto3 gp thailand biaggi fires the two mechanics of the fernandez case

In Thailand, the Husqvarna team announces that it has removed the two mechanics from their job, originally suspended for two races. Max: “Unsportsmanlike gesture that cannot go unpunished”

Remember the very bad scene of the Aragon GP, ​​when during the Q2 of the Moto3 two mechanics from Max Biaggi’s Husqvarna Max Racing team tried to block the entry on the track of Adrian Fernandez (KTM Tech3) to prevent him from taking Ayumi Sasaki’s wake? The two, who at the end of qualifying were also attacked by Fernandez’s father with a fist fight in the backbox, were initially disqualified for two races by the Race Direction, with penalty suspended for the Japanese and Thai GPs due to logistical difficulties, but which should have come into effect for the next two races in Australia and Malaysia. But after promising that he would not pass over such an episode, Biaggi decided to fire the two mechanics at the end of today’s race, as stated in the press release issued today by the team.

dismissal at the end of the tender

“Following the unjustifiable episode, which saw two members of the Sterilgarda Husqvarna Max Racing as protagonists during qualifying for the Aragon Grand Prix, we communicate that we have concluded the collaboration between the parties concerned and our Team prematurely. The two parties in question , during qualifying 2 of the Aragòn Grand Prix, they hindered the exit from the pits of the driver Adriàn Fernàndez, in an aggressive and dangerous way. we also specified that we would unconditionally punish those responsible for such an act. All this was immediately confirmed by our Team Owner Max Biaggi. In these years of the World Championship the Max Racing Team, with the support of Husqvarna Motorcycles, has obtained great results on the track. The passion, dedication and sacrifice, which everyone has put into these years, have forced us to implement a drastic action, to protect the image. gine of each of the interested parties, to protect the ethics of sport and the ethics of the Max Racing Team “.

the words of biaggi

Also in the press release, here are Biaggi’s words: “I personally followed and coordinated the formal notice procedure of the two members of my Team, responsible for the facts to the detriment of driver Adrian Fernandez, of Team Tech3 KTM. After having officially asked the interested parties for clarifications and justifications for what has occurred, in compliance with the contractual requirements, we have reached the unpleasant, but inevitable epilogue. As a team, we believe we have to completely separate our path from those who commit unsportsmanlike behavior, as well as contrary to rules and regulations. Such a gesture cannot and must not go unpunished, nor pass over in silence. The image damage caused to us is immeasurable ”.
