At least he's got a bunch of orange shirts already, swap a couple patches off and on, he'll be good to go.

This is great news, but I would have loved to see him in a wildcard. For KTM, this should be a huge leap forward for their development.

Doesn't stop someone else from signing him. Dorna should go further and ban his ass.
FIM should revoke his license, but they chose to suspend him for two races. Weak IMO.

He's already been fired by two different teams mid contract for 'behavior' issues.

Who do you think will hire him?

IMO, since he was riding for Forward, his duckboat was pretty low in the water *before* he shotgunned the bottom out.

Team him up with Iannone, it'd be fun.

Some of these teams are desperate. I would rather FIM send a message to everyone "you try this BS, you're out even if it's your first offense". Lack of cojones from Race Direction.

There's plenty of talent in the field. Desperation is a weak excuse.

I'd rather the FIM send a strong message also, but that ain't gonna happen. Everything is too political.

What I don't understand is that Fenati carries no weight. It's not like he's a golden child. He's the red headed stepchild that Dorna never wanted. Dorna wants views...not negative press.

I don't understand what the issue is.

And yet people forget and FIM really did nothing to deter anyone else from doing something this stupid.

Very poor leadership. They forgot their statements about stricter interpretation and enforcement of the rules after Marquez penalties very quickly. Weak leadership. Maybe I'm wrong and they have legal advice and are wisely considering a next move and it ain't over.

I didn't think they'd just let it finish at that.
We shall see.
They've got some basic sporting clause they can hang him on.

I'm not a racer at that level, and I did have some semblance of a normal childhood, but I did race MX ages ago.
Contacting someone else's front brake lever?
To be avoided at all costs, a really effective way to get wrapped up in a nasty crash.
I've done it accidentally on a start, entering the first turn.
Ground jumps up and smacks you in the head, totally not recommended.

They've been sneaking up on him, benefitting from the element of surprise.
