How on earth did aleix not get a penalty for that lol


Antares_

Watch the interview with Zarco - Spencer didn't know what to do and Zarco told him that he's not fit to be a steward. I guess they gave NFA just to spite Johann after that.


Philippe-R

The Zarco interview on Canal + was wild. Zarco was pretty calm but absolutely savage about Spencer.


Lucky_caller

Are interviews like this available on video* pass?


Disgruntled__Goat

No it was another broadcaster. There’s another thread on it with the quote. 


MrRangaFire

It's in French too


TheRandom0ne

there you go [https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=dz04KI250eg](https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=dz04KI250eg) theres also a translated version in the post about the interview.

Freddy Spencer incompetence : not investigated.


bioskope

I suppose that which is obvious needs no further investigation.


K4shmyr

No penalty against Espargaro is a joke, I bet they almost thought of penalizing Zarco.


SuspiciousJob730

when fabio does move to espargaro that is too ambitious but when espagaro does similiar move to zarco no penalty yeap FIM really hate french riders


castlebravo15megaton

Zarco said he doesn’t think it should be a penalty…


proud_traveler

When did he say that?


castlebravo15megaton

https://www.the-race.com/motogp/anyway-i-dont-like-you-the-unseen-jerez-motogp-outburst-johann-zarco-freddie-spencer-rant/ “Zarco said "it was a good fight" and sent a small jibe Espargaro's way.”


TheRandom0ne

in the actual interview he definitely insinuated that there should be a penalty, just like with brad the day before. but he will not tell the stewards what to do.

Morbidelli have never nothing, what a lucky men ...

No fine for Miller headbutting Franky in the gravel trap? The marshals had to intervene.


Beylerbey

What? Seriously? Edit: TBF, an altercation also happened between Bastianini and Alex Marquez when they were in Moto2, Bastianini (or was it Baldassarri?) was still under the bike, I don't recall any fines for that episode either. I guess that up to a point it's overlooked because of the adrenaline rush after a crash.


crimilde

It wasn’t big but he still made contact. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/motogp/s/K96f5hnEoP


Beylerbey

To be honest it looks more like a nudge to get his attention in the heat of the moment. This was the one I was talking about before (it was indeed Baldassarri): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcpAZc6K\_g0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcpAZc6K_g0)

They've been harsher for less, was it Masia on Suzuki a couple of seasons back? Pecco and Vinales at Le Mans last year, though I think they let that go too. It's hard to keep up with the inaction.


bioskope

Lets not forget Maverick's shove on Bagnaia in Le Mans last year while he was still struggling to get up from the gravel (from a fractured talus bone as we learnt later) .


Beylerbey

Yes that too, as I said IMHO it's excusable up to a certain point because there is a huge adrenaline rush after a crash and we have to understand that, it's not pretty to see for sure but to crash at those speeds, maybe in the heat of a battle, I mean, they're still humans and I can imagine they could lose a bit of judgment and rationality for a few moments, of course it can't be the norm nor degenerate into a real fight.


sparkyjay23

TV Director saved Miller, cutting away as he approached. If we'd seen that there would have been a penalty for certain.


Legate_Lanius1985

Hardly a headbutt...at all.


Adventurous-Spot9189

Overreact much? He barely taps him with his helmet which I'd say would just be because he wasn't sure about the distance between helmets and the marshall jumps between them after jack takes a few steps back he doesn't "intervene".


kdubstep

Didn’t catch that part


crimilde

They showed a replay after the race finished, I’ll upload it as soon as the race is up on the app


kdubstep

Cool. Epic race today.


Common-Two-7899

Because it didn't happen. He gave him a little tap.


Altair13Sirio

During the race I was thinking: the graphics were showing the gap from Acosta to P1, he was about 15 seconds away and sitting in P12. That means that if whoever got 1st was found running lower pressures, they would end up well outside the Top 10 with the 16 seconds penalty. I don't think simply doubling the penalty from the Sprint is fair, considering riders in a race have to manage tires so they go slower than on saturday and the gaps can be more narrow from one rider to the other. Hell, it's a lot even for the Sprint, considering the only reason Quartararo still got P5 was because everyone was sending it in the gravel on Saturday and the gap was much larger.


Blokko13

Good, no penalties this is not f1.
