(Reuters) - Italian Moto2 rider Romano Fenati was suspended by his country's motorcycling federation (FMI) and had his licence revoked after he shocked the sport by grabbing a rival's brake lever while racing at speed in a race on Sunday.

The 22-year-old's contract with the Marinelli Snipers team had already been terminated following the astonishing incident during the San Marino Grand Prix.
