  "textContent": "MotoGP To Ban Holeshot Devices From Silverstone\n\nThe first corner crash in Barcelona, in which Johann Zarco tore tendons in his knee after missing his braking point, is having repercussions for the starting grid in MotoGP. According to Oriol Puigdemont on Motorsport.com, MotoGP will create more space between the grid rows from the Sachsenring round of MotoGP, and ban the use of holeshot at the start from the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.\n\nThe extended grid has already been agreed. From Sachsenring, the grid rows will be moved a further 3 meters apart, so there will be 12 meters distance between the rows, instead of the current 9 meters. The objective is to create more space between the riders so they don't all arrive at Turn 1 at the same time.\n\nDavid Emmett Sun, 07/Jun/2026 - 19:30\n\n  * Read more about MotoGP To Ban Holeshot Devices From Silverstone\n  * Log in or register to post comments\n\n",
