Valentino Rossi SCARED of Racing Close to Marc Marquez After Argentine GP Clash

Marquez was forced to serve a ride-through penalty after retaking his grid slot having stalled.

While battling for sixth place Marquez forced Rossi on the damp part of the circuit and on the grass where the Italian lost control of his bike.

Rossi remounted his Yamaha to finish 19th and although Marquez finished in fifth, he was bumped down the pecking order to 18th after being slapped with a 30-second penalty.

“As a team we cannot accept these kinds of actions by Marquez,” Jarvis told Sky Italia.

“What he did twice during the race is unacceptable – first with Aleix Espargaro, and then with Valentino, who also risked getting hurt and losing a lot of points.

“We went to race direction to make clear our position and Valentino came with us to express his opinion directly. Now we have to wait on Race Direction and the FIM.

“They have to decide if they can do something more, because they already gave him a 30-second penalty in the race.

“Valentino has said that Marquez is very dangerous and is scared of being near Marquez on track.

“This is something that needs to be resolved in future, not only for us but for MotoGP in general.”

After the race the reinging world champion approached Rossi’s Yamaha garage to apologise.

But he was told in no uncertain terms to go away by the Italian’s angry entourage.

“At the moment I’m not interested in talking to Honda or Marquez,” Jarvis added.

“He tried to come into our box, but it was not the time to do it.”
