@matchvedev I'll find actual presser clips at some point, but here's jorge bringing up race bans at le mans 2013 (race after jerez)
and more mention of it after aragon 2013 (where marc caused dani to crash)
and in the context of assen 2015 (obviously not one of the instances where jorge brought it up, but still narratively kinda fun so I'm including it)
and for old time's sake, jorge did bring it up again after argentina 2018
#motegi 2005 a conceptually funny weekend to me. u can kinda do a hot take per alien for that whole *gestures* thing#my valentino lukewarm take is that he's a wiiiiiiiimp and my casey hot take is that he's an underrated opportunist#starting to just make a preliminary note of the races i'd include in the jorge + dani race recs post#and i'm never quite sure whether to include the disaster races. like i personally find them funny and character building#but i think if you want to check out races for a rider you probably don't want the 'wow they were such a fucking idiot here' tour#i did include qatar 2004 for valentino and argentina 2018 for marc so maybe i'll throw in a cute motegi 2005#//#brr brr#obviously jorge's problem was always that there's not really been all that many marc premier class races you could justify a ban for#marc got very good very fast at flirting with the line. like handing out that kind of sanction over say aragon '13 would've been ridiculous#i agree that a race ban over argentina 2018 would've been warranted. also lbr portimao last year was a howler#but proooobably only argentina is justifiable. can't teach him a lesson if he doesn't give you *quite* enough of an opening
