Yamaha MotoGP boss Lin Jarvis has urged the series’ race direction team to do something about Marc Marquez’ on track behaviour after the antics in the Argentine race which saw him penalised three times.

Jarvis has branded the passes Marquez put on Aleix Espargaro and his own rider Valentino Rossi as ‘unacceptable’ alongside a number of other moves over the whole Grand Prix weekend.

“I think it’s pretty obvious from anyone watching the TV images that it’s a move that is totally unacceptable. So it was the number X of many moves that were unacceptable throughout the weekend. We had issues in free practice when he very nearly missed Maverick one time,” said Jarvis.

“There have been several incidents against other riders – not our riders – but other riders throughout the weekend. In the race there was a big one with Aleix. There was another one with Nakagami and then with others. Finally he ran Valentino off the track. That’s just not acceptable – period.”

Jarvis, team manager Maio Meregallo and Rossi went to see race director Mike Webb after the chequered flag last night to urge further measures.

“Well, we’ve requested them to take action in order to do whatever they can to try to bring a correction to his behaviour. His behaviour shows a total lack of respect for any other competitor on the race track.

“So we went – Massimo Mergalli, the team director, myself and Valentino – to talk to race direction after the race to give our point of view. It’s not our job to make the rules. It’s not our job to say what action to take.

“But at least we wanted to make it very, very clear to them our opinion. It’s not only for us. We were the victim on this occasion but on the next occasion it will be someone else. So I sincerely hope race direction will review well this weekend and decide whether it’s appropriate to take action or not.”
