French MotoGP rider Johann Zarco will start from the pits in his next race, sanctioned for "irresponsible driving" after his accident with Franco Morbidelli last Sunday at the Austrian Grand Prix, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) announced on Friday. "Upon examination, it was determined that there is evidence of irresponsible riding on the part of Johann Zarco who was sanctioned as a result," said the FIM in a statement. Injured in the accident, the French driver did not take part in the first free practice of the GP in Styria, also in Austria on Friday, and his participation in the race on Sunday is still uncertain.
