FIM Corrects Thai Moto2 Result to Half Points After Lap-Count Error

The governing body blamed race-control software for counting a nullified restart lap, promising extra verification.

Overview

  • The FIM revised the season-opening Moto2 result in Thailand to half points and published updated standings.
  • Officials said race-control software wrongly added a single lap from the second restart that should have been void.
  • Only 10 of the scheduled 22 laps counted toward the result, short of the 50% threshold required for full points.
  • Manuel Gonzalez remains the on-track winner at Buriram and now leads the standings on 12.5 points, with Izan Guevara on 10 and Dani Holgado on 8.
  • The FIM refuted an earlier Dorna explanation about combined distance and said additional verification steps will prevent similar errors.
