From a press release issued by FIM:
Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix
Grand Prix of Japan: decision of the Race Direction
On Sunday 6th April 2003, Team Safilo Oxydo-LCR lodged a protest stating that Italian rider Stefano Perugini (rider no. 7 – 125cc) overtook Italian rider Lucio Cecchinello (rider no. 4 – 125cc) when yellow flags were shown.
After having organised a hearing with all the parties involved, the Race Direction decided that the protest was founded and imposed a fine of 5000CHF (swiss francs) to the rider Stefano Perugini.
No appeal has been lodged.
The decision of the Race Direction is final.
