JAKARTA - Head of Sport Operations for the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA), Dylan Dilato responded to the news circulating about the illegal opening of Ducati's box at the Mandalika Circuit. According to Dylan, the incident was carried out by individuals who were not from the circuit or the team itself.

"This person is embarrassing the name of the nation," said Dylan Dilato when confirmed by VOI via text message, Thursday, November 11.

Previously, there was bad news circulating from the Mandalika Circuit ahead of the 2021 WSBK. Foreign media, Speedweek, carried the news that said illegal acts were carried out at the venue.

The foreign media wrote that the local committee of the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) illegally opened the Ducati cargo box. In fact, the team's cargo and logistics boxes may only be opened by customs or the team itself in order to prevent manipulation and also espionage from other camps.

Dylan, who gave an answer to this news, confirmed that the incident was carried out by an individual. As a follow-up, he also said that the customs authorities had intervened.

"Customs will take action against individuals," he continued.

It is known, since the beginning of this week, Lombok Airport has received the cargo and race logistics for the final series of WSBK 2021 at the Mandalika Circuit.

The equipment was carried by several Qatar Airways cargo Boeing 777 aircraft that arrived from Doha, Qatar on Tuesday, November 9. Included in the cargo are 70 WSBK motorcycles and 26 IATC (Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup) motorcycles.
