Penalties

#44 Russell: Stop-and-go (false start).

Rider notes

#56 Rodriguez Piñeda: Started warm-up lap from pit lane and arrived late to grid. Lined up 4 rows behind rest of grid, started on a delay signalled by marshal waving green flag.

#44 Russell: Retired after false start and realising that a penalty would put him out of contention for points.
