“We’ve gone to the responsible party to clarify our fate. Valentino (Rossi) also came with us to express what he felt directly. Now we are just waiting for the decision of the MotoGP and FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme), “said Jarvis, quoting from Autosport.
“They have to decide if they can do anything more because they have given him (Marquez) a 30-second penalty in the race,” he continued.
Actually, not only Rossi who became the victims of the reckless actions of the Marquez. Previously, Marquez also performed the same deeds to the Aprilia Gresini team rider, Aleix Espargaro. However, Espargaro didn’t fall because of he still able to control his motorbike.
