Jordi Tixier gets one month suspension!!!
FUNCHAL (Portugal), March 20, 2015 – On Sunday, March 8, 2015, at the end of the first MX2 race of the Thai Motocross Grand Prix, four riders were taken to the medical center for examination.
Three of them, #1 Jordi Tixier, #91 Jeremy Seewer and #243 Tim Gajser, suffered from heat stroke and dehydration. The three riders were declared unfit by the Chief Medical Officer and the FIM Medical Director and were therefore banned from participating in the second heat in accordance with the FIM Medical Code.
During treatment, Jordi Tixier physically attacked the Chief Medical Officer FIM medical director. This is considered unacceptable behavior and is against the FIM Motocross World Championship regulations.
Race Direction has insisted on a hearing into the facts that happened to Jordi Tixier.
The decision of the Race Direction is a fine of € 5.000 as well as a suspension of one month from March 8, 2015 for Jordi Tixier, in accordance with the provisions of the Motocross World Championship.
No appeal was made with the FIM Stewards. The decision of the Race Diction is therefore final.
