The VR46 rider was taken out of Saturday’s 14-lap dash on the Pink Bull Ring when Pramac’s Martin clattered into Fabio Quartararo, who in flip hit Maverick Vinales into Bezzecchi, Johann Zarco and Miguel Oliveira.
The incident is at present below investigation and no final result has been made but, with Martin happening to complete third within the dash having additionally escaped punishment for a collision whereas overtaking Bezzecchi’s team-mate Luca Marini on lap seven.
Bezzecchi says he has not been to see the stewards in regards to the incident and feels it was “fallacious” for them to attend until after the race to research.
“Simply instantly after the crash I didn’t know what occurred and after I noticed the video I understood,” Bezzecchi stated when requested in regards to the crash.
“Nicely, offended just a little bit nevertheless it’s extra disappointment as a result of in the present day it was essential to complete the race to see one thing for tomorrow. Nevertheless it’s like this.
“For certain, it’s a nook that’s fairly difficult. However there are a lot of methods to method a nook if it’s difficult.”
He added: “[It was] fallacious to resolve after the race, as a result of you might want to resolve in the course of the race.
“To be trustworthy, in that second [of the incident] I didn’t know, so it’s tough for me to evaluate.
“Additionally proper now, I don’t need to decide, it’s not my job. In the event that they [the stewards] suppose it’s good like this, it’s their job to resolve what to do. However I don’t agree.”

Marini joined his team-mate Bezzecchi in raging towards the stewards’ decision-making in the course of the dash, and feels Martin ought to by no means have been able to trigger contact with him for what occurred at Flip 1.
“I take into consideration this case the issue is that it’s not clear one other time about why and wherein {cases} the stewards take the choices in regards to the penalties, as a result of in my view Jorge shouldn’t have been there in that second [when he touched me] after the incident at Flip 1,” stated Marini.
“That was extra harmful than what occurred with me. With me it was dangerous luck as a result of along with his foot he touched my handlebar and I crashed.
“For certain he didn’t need me to crash. I used to be simply making an attempt to make a wider line and keep away from any contact, and for him it was the identical I feel as a result of we by no means need to crash into one another.
“So, it’s unusual that what occurred after Flip 1 that the stewards didn’t take any resolution, whereas with Fabio they took a choice in a short time to provide him the lengthy lap penalty.
“I feel what occurred in Flip 1 wanted a penalty, after which my incident wouldn’t have occurred.
“Jorge in that second made a mistake in braking for Flip 1, as a result of additionally for me each time braking into Flip 1 of a race could be very tough for everybody.
“It’s essential at that second to keep away from any crashes in that particular second.
“Within the second this sort of factor occurs, the stewards have to be ready to analyse the scenario in the easiest way doable to let the race be truthful for everyone and proceed in the easiest way.”
Beneath present guidelines, riders are supposed to be punished for any strikes which might be thought-about to have created a harmful scenario for a competitor – as was said again in March in the course of the fallout from the Marc Marquez/Martin/Oliveira Portugal tangle.
However Marini feels just like the stewards have relaxed how they dish out penalties, however have maintained inconsistency, noting how Martin escaped punishment for his or her dash collision whereas Quartararo was hit with a penalty for the same incident with Lorenzo Savadori.
“The issue is the consistency of the penalties, as a result of each time they alter their opinion, they alter how they apply the foundations,” he added.
“So, it’s not clear. It will be nice if we might attempt to discover a resolution. I feel at the start of the season we have been in a scenario that the rules have been very strict, there have been a variety of penalties, even when there isn’t any crashes, whereas in some moments they modified and so they began to be extra free.
“Pushing one other rider off the monitor will not be a penalty, like occurred in Silverstone with some riders.
“However till now there’s contact and a few crashes, each time there was a penalty. However in the present day, no. It’s not clear. They gave Fabio an extended lap penalty, so why Fabio sure and never within the different event?”
