The less said about the man the better, he has years of history of doing stuff like this, and he is the love child of Dorna so will not get penalized as much as he should and ought to.
Ridiculous, stupid move, desperation, for a man so experienced to still think riding like this is on says all you need to know as to why people like me literally loath the way he rides. No doubt he is one of the fastest men ever to ride a GP bike, but all this stuff does is back up all the naysayers, all the conspiracy theorists about the Rossi thing.
The only thing you can say is where are the Honda's. he almost has no choice, but now I not only fear for him, but also his rivals.

FFS Marc
Everyone went mental when he took out Oliveira and hurled abuse at Marc when they taxi'd him past us
Good, he's an utter tEveryone went mental when he took out Oliveira and hurled abuse at Marc when they taxi'd him past us
t!How many times is he going to be allowed to get away with this s
t?At least my prediction of him biting the tarmac in the first two laps was correct.

I don't disagree with what any of you are saying in that it's completely out of order but clearly he's trying to make that bike do things it doesn't want to do. It's either that or he rides round in 8th with Fabio.
He needs a race ban or two, the bloke is a lunatic.Won't happen of course.
I love watching Marquez, but no one loves watching crashes (if you really enjoy racing).
Double long lap penalty in Argentina just announced.
Racing should have been and was great today in all 3 classes, especially given the preseason test here. Everyone had fresh data for their current bikes.
In Argentina I think the Ducati data machine will start to pay even higher dividends, especially for those on 2022 versions. If they can stay on them.
Great days racing. Roll on next week.

If he did ride around in 8th, at least he'd get some data for his engineers to work with, so they could make the bike at bit more rider friendly!
He's been getting away with this st since his days in Moto2 and it appears he's been given a free pass to carry on ever since!
How many years worth of data have his engineers already had ?He's been getting away with this s
t since his days in Moto2 and it appears he's been given a free pass to carry on ever since!The bikes a s
tter that up to now only he could ride and it seems that after the recent changes even he's struggling.Marc has always been able to ride round the problems, or at least get a setup which worked, but the opposition are too far ahead and his talent is no longer able to make up for the bike. Once he crashed the first Japanese bike was 10th! Both Honda and Yamaha looking very lost at the moment. Good ride from Maverick, Pecco is just too quick and too smooth. KTM looking decent in the hands of Jack and Brad. Not sure what Zarco had for breakfast but whatever it was didnt kick in until the last lap!

I like Marc but that was a stupid move, a reprimand & starting from last at the next race will hopefully make him stop over riding the bike.
How many years has this been said? He won't change, he can't, he is getting worse.He was an amazing generational talent, but he is a liability to the series and other riders health now. He needs a proper sanction or he will keep doing this.
