Jorge Martin believes giving him a penalty for his involvement in the Turn 1 pile-up in the MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix sprint was the \u201ceasy option\u201d for the FIM stewards.
The Pramac Ducati rider was handed a long lap penalty for last Sunday's Austrian GP after he was deemed to have been at fault for triggering a multi-rider pile-up on the opening lap of the sprint contest.
The incident was investigated for several hours after the sprint race on Saturday, with Martin insisting he was not to blame. The stewards took a dim view of his actions, however, and he was awarded a long lap penalty for Sunday's full-distance race – which he served on the fourth lap, before going on to finish seventh.
Martin continued to disagree with the penalty following the grand prix and was unhappy that the stewards couldn't issue him anything in the sprint."I spoke with a lot of riders, Randy Mamola, a lot of journalists. If you watch it again and again, you understand that it wasn't my fault. Just, it was a combined situation that happened like this.
"Today [in Sunday's grand prix] we had more aggressive moves from another rider and nothing happened.
