MotoGP Imposes €5000 Fines for Missing Promotional Events
What happened
MotoGP informed riders that missing promotional events on race weekends would result in a €5000 fine. Jack Miller spoke in Indonesia about the new regulation, insisting that "nobody is above the rules." The rule came into discussion after Marc Marquez sent a stunt double to Japan to take part in a pre-race karting event.

Why it matters
The new regulation increases the promotional demands placed on riders. Jack Miller suggested that riders would need to be paid more if they are expected to take on increased promotional activities. This shift could raise operational costs for manufacturers and teams.
