One of the strangest pres release of the month award goes to the official Italian Marc Marquez fan club, announcing it won't attend the 2016 Mugello MotoGP round on 22 May, citing safety concerns.

“We're really very sorry to have to make this drastic decision, but the environment is really dangerous.” they said. “We find it shameful that fans can't cheer freely for their rider without running the risk of being threatened, having things thrown at them, or even being spat on – but we have arrived at this point. We hope that you understand this choice has been taken for the good of the members.”
