Was Xaus DQ'd? I watched both races but didn't see or hear about this.

I watched the races as well. I dont quite understand how they can DQ him.

You should probably put "spoiler" in the title of the thread.

bikes have to report to impound/parc ferme within 5 minutes of the race end. i believe he crashed on/after the last lap, so he wasn't able to make it.

he's listed as "not classified" in the final results.

Dumb question, but since Max didn't know he was on the podium was his bike in parc ferme? I guess my question is do ALL bikes go to parc ferme or just the winners?

hey, I said it was a dumb question ...

i'd have to look up the regulation to be sure, but i'd be surprised if all bikes didn't have to report after the race.

i DO know that in f1, all cars and drivers report to parc ferme for post race tech, weighing, etc.
