The FIM has revoked the WC licences for Assen, Mugello and Jerez in a reaction to the havoc the fans caused during those GP's.

'Hooligans' crowded on the track and caused a lot of trouble. In the Dutch GP they threw bottles and cans to the marshals and tried to rip Jurgen vd Goorberghs helmet and boots from his body, Jurgen came away with some bruises.

The FIM will inspect the tracks early next year and if there are signs of improvements on spectator control measures the tracks will get their licences back.

For Assen the first testcase will come in 1,5 week when the Superbikes are at Assen.
