What specific rule did Bezzecchi violate with his actions?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bezzecchi violated Article 3.3.2.2 for conduct deemed prejudicial to the sport.

Bezzecchi’s actions after his crash were ruled to be an infringement of Article 3.3.2.2. The FIM MotoGP Stewards said he pushed and struck circuit marshals who were trying to recover his machine, and described the conduct as “prejudicial to the interests of the sport.”
The incident happened after a sprint crash in Brno

The 27-year-old Aprilia Racing rider crashed out of the sprint with two laps to go in the Czech GP weekend. TV footage showed him running toward a steward, pushing him, and then slapping him in the face while the marshal stood over the bike in the gravel.
The stewards issued a race ban for the Czech GP

MotoGP said Bezzecchi would not race in the Czech GP. Aprilia appealed the decision on Saturday, but appeal stewards upheld the verdict, and Aprilia said it would not protest further.
Bezzecchi apologised after the ruling

Bezzecchi said he was sorry “to everyone, Aprilia Racing and my fans” and also apologised to the MotoGP community and the trackside marshall. He said marshals make “effort and sacrifice” to ensure rider safety, and added that his behaviour “shouldn’t happen.”
The penalty came during a difficult title fight

Bezzecchi leads the MotoGP standings with 180 points, ahead of Jorge Martin on 165 and Fabio Di Giannantonio on 146. The Brno weekend also brought more trouble for Aprilia, with Martin set to serve two long-lap penalties for causing a crash in the Hungarian GP two weeks earlier.
