MotoGP riders Maverick Vinales and Alex Marquez would have to do without their crew chiefs in the pit lane for the season opener, the two are in quarantine.

The reason for the isolation are incidents during the Corona tests, which MotoGP conducts regularly. For example, the test on Esteban Garcia, crew chief of Maverick Vinales, did not give a clear result. For safety’s sake, he had to go into quarantine. Presumably, the testing was only poorly executed, as the second test, which was conducted on Wednesday, was negative.

However, as a second negative test is required to return to the paddock, he will not be able to return to the track until Sunday at the earliest. This is also the case for Christophe Bourguignon, the crewchief of Alex Marquez.

The teams will have to send all the data to the crew chiefs and coordinate by phone.
