Re: Cheating???
Oops.
The Leopard bikes used to have a top speed edge and I'm pretty certain they'll have had more checks than most teams in the past. Did they get cocky/over confident and drop the ball? With engines showing signs of being opened without authorisation,I'd like to hear how they'd explain that one.
It's a pity for Fernandez,that's his season borked.

Re: Cheating???
They manage to sound hard done by.
“Leopard Racing has always operated in full compliance with the technical and sporting regulations of the Moto3 World Championship and firmly rejects any suggestions that any engine was opened or modified without authorisation.
“It is also noted that the technical inspections carried out on four engines did not identify any illegal component, performance-enhancing modification, non-compliant part or technical element contrary to the Moto3 regulations.
“Furthermore, the engines used during the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello were subjected to extensive technical checks and were found to be fully compliant with the applicable regulations.
“The present dispute concerns solely the interpretation of certain elements relating to the engine sealing system and the conclusions drawn from those observations.
