Yes of course he should be penalized. In fact he was penalized with a ride-through for his starting grid foul-up, and he did get a 30-second penalty for knocking Rossi down again. The question is, is that enough? Has Marquez paid his debt to society?

One race ban?!!!! What a joke Motogp is becoming! Marquez is very aggressive but doesn't stoop to kicking riders off their bikes when he fails to pass them like one 'champion' did 2 yrs ago. That Tossi err I mean rossi, is SO full of sh*#!!!
