Good point about the original penalty, that ‘drop 1 second’ is not something you can expect a rider to do reliably. Same thing happened to Binder last race I think, the whole system needs to be re-thought
‘Give back any advantage’ is a good wording in my opinion. It leaves a bit of wiggle room for interpretation whilst still being very clear about any obligations.
Acosta had no advantage from his save, so the penalty was just salt in the wound.
