The Japanese Yuki Kunii (Honda) has been expelled from the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix after his appeal to the sanction imposed on Saturday was heard, after causing an accident with another rider, the Italian Alberto Surra (Honda).

Kunii was initially sanctioned with said exclusion for causing an accident in which another driver was involved while riding very slowly at turn eleven during the third free practice session, but when his team presented the corresponding appeal with a deposit of 1,320 euros, it was suspended until the decision of the Appeal Committee, made up of the Spanish Andrés Somolinos and the Italian Claudio Bellini, was known.

He himself resolved that there was no reason to modify the decision of the commissioners panel, made up of Bill Cumbow, Freddie Spencer and Ralph Bohnhorst, and therefore confirmed the sanction of the pilot Yuki Kunii, who It can no longer be appealed and that will prevent him from contesting the Italian Moto3 race.
