Team GB disqualified from MXoN’s

Do they have to return their prize money?  How much does 7th pay?

They actually get a refund of their entry costs 😅

"Following further analysis, Mustoe’s fuel sample was found to be noncompliant with FIM fuel regulations and did not match any certified Category 2 race fuel."

Hmmm. Sounds like there may have been a person in the pits less than 500 feet away who once heard about someone who used to put leaded gas in his Corvette back in the 1960s. 

Stupid question but how does this happen? Obviously the rider wasn't fueling his own bike, is this on the mechanic or team?  

Everybody uses canned race fuel?

Good lord

Maybe in February after all the testing is complete we will learn that the USA actually won 

Yep, and Canada is headed to the podium.

Didn't this happen to Italy some years ago?

”I’m an mxon official, and I’m serious dangit!”

I had to look at the date of this thread and make sure it wasn’t like a month old or something. 

Italy in 2019 (Michele Cervellin's bike) and Norway in 2023 (Cornelius Tøndel's bike).

Legend has it that they are still testing Villopoto's 2007 fuel. 

Should have just bought it from the Italian fuel Mafia😎
