2012 Moto2 world champion, Marc Marquez will start from last grid on the Valencia Sunday race tomorrow after a penalty given due to aggressive movement against Simone Corsi on FP2 yesterday. Marquez was later penalised by Race Direction and his team did not appeal against the decision.

Race Direction:
"Marc Marquez rode in an irresponsible manner during the Moto2 free practice causing danger to rider Simone Corsi (ITA) which is an infringement of the article 1.21.2 of the 2012 FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations. No appeal was lodged. The decision of the Race Direction is final."

"I had already overtaken other riders on that corner and I hadn't thought about him being one of the later brakers in the class," said Marquez of the incident. I passed him on the inside and then felt a touch, which was totally involuntary. I immediately looked around to see how he was and, when I saw that he had crashed, I became very worried. I went to apologise to him after the session, he understood and the most important thing is that he wasn't hurt. I publically apologise once again.  Later, Race Direction decided to send me to the back of the grid on Sunday, and I can do little more than respect their decision."
