ALVARO Bautista will start the German MotoGP from the back of the grid as punishment for colliding with Jorge Lorenzo during Saturday's Dutch Grand Prix at Assen, race stewards announced.
Bautista slid into his fellow Spaniard's Yamaha on the first corner of the first lap, causing both bikes and riders to end up in the gravel and out of the race. International Motorcycling Federation stewards upheld the decision following an appeal from Bautista's San Carlo Honda Gresini team, confirming that Bautista will start from last position at the Sachsenring on Sunday. Lorenzo, level on points with championship leader Casey Stoner, was still unhappy about the incident. "I think it's a complete disaster," he told the official MotoGP website.
