Aprilia has decided to lodge an appeal with the International Disciplinary Court following Tom Sykes reinstatement to third place late Sunday evening following race 2 at Monza.
Sykes had just conquered the third position by overtaking Sylvain Guintoli during the last lap when he overcooked the Roggia and ran onto the paved run off area, but he returned to track taking back his original position ahead of the Aprilia rider to finish third.

After the race, Aprilia filed an appeal sustaining that Sykes outbraked himself and cut the chicane, gaining an unfair advantage by not conceding the position.
The Race Direction after several hours ruled to drop Sykes to fourth and awarded third to Guintioli (who celebrated the ruling with a private ceremony, posting the above picture on Twitter).
Kawasaki later appealed to the FIM Stewards’ Panel stating that Sykes was already ahead of Guintoli and that he ran off track to avoid rear ending Marco Melandri, who apparently braked a litte earlier.

The FIM Stewards re-analyzed the race footage and decided to reinstate Sykes to third.
Aprilia had five days to lodge another appeal, and have now sent their appeal to International Disciplinary Court who will have six weeks to make a decision on who between Sykes and Guintoli will get those precious extra three points.
