After 'riding in an irresponsible manner', David Munoz will start the Argentine Grand Prix from pit lane.

David Munoz has been penalised after the Moto3 season opener in Thailand.

During the race, Munoz had been given a long lap penalty, which he did not serve as he failed to finish the race.

However, after the race, a new penalty was handed to Munoz, that he will serve at the Argentine Grand Prix on the 16th of March.

Munoz became reckless during the race after a battle with Luca Lunetta in the early stages. But never ended up crossing the finish line and had to trudge back to his garage.

"You were found to be riding in an irresponsible manner causing a contact, involving rider #58," the stewards ruled after the race about Munoz.

"The situation was exaggerated with the maneuver executed whilst the section of circuit was under yellow led/flag conditions.

"After notification of [the long lap] penalty you crashed at Turn 3, without serving it.

"The FIM MotoGP Stewards panel further reviewed the incident after the race and considered the exceptionally high risk to marshals who were placed in danger following the contact, which caused #58 to run deep into the run off area.

"Given the exaggerated risk caused, the FIM MotoGP Stewards Panel further impose a Pit Lane Start Penalty, to be served by the rider (#64) in the next Grand Prix race."
