The real failure here is the governing body not acting hard enough. FFS a two week ban - is that because the other rider did not fall off and break something?

Probably - but also possibly because there's not a lot of heavier penalties in the book.

If it happened here for example at a round of the Nats, from memory it's a fine and/or exclusion from the results.
I don't think we could exclude someone from subsequent rounds unless a fine remained unpaid - or there was a civil charge lodged as part of the outcome of the incident. Or the jury hearing the incident took the rider's licence away....

Licence removal is probably our and the FIM's last resort. Any largely amateur organisation is going to be wary of removing it from a professional.

All good points and following that, the powers that be would never have considered something like that would happen at the top level, thus the potential lack of sanctions in the rule book.

Apparently the two race suspension was issued by the FIM stewards not Race Direction.

Fenati has been summoned to FIM HQ where the matter will be discussed prior to finalising any further penalty.

One commentator Charlie Hiscott (?) made the case that Fenati is young and we all make mistakes. It seems he may have been inundated with hostile replies to the effect that this was Fenati's third incident.

Overnight Fenati announced that he will never race again.

So yes, we will likely hear more of this.

I need to go read up, but in a situation like this here in NZ now, probably excluded etc on the day by the steward, and then referred to the board for further action / penalty to be discussed and applied.

A mate sent me this on FaceBrick haha

If it happened in NZ I'm pretty sure someone would receive at least one punch in the face.

It was reported on one site that his international licence has been cancelled and he was returning to his Father's shop. Maybe fake news I dunno.
