Is MotoGP ran by the Spanish mafia?

I'm not a xenophobe, so don't call me one.
But I'm beginning to wonder......
The penalty this week in Misano against Qartararo seem like trivial BS to me.
Rossi, Zarco, Quartararo been all penalized to the benefit of Spanish riders.
Yet Spanish riders commit worse infractions, and no penalties???
What gives?

Just asking for a friend.

Can't comment on the others but Quartararo had 3 warnings about that final corner. He then chose to ignore them and did it again. It was entirely his own fault.

Thanks Boomer,
I missed that.
I can't follow what's being said by the announcers very well.
I have an appointment for hearing aids next week.
 
PS. "The friend" I was asking for is an old riding buddy in France - Benoit Unal
The "Spanish Mafia / benefits Spanish riders" were his comments. Not mine...

He and I follow MotoGP via email, after the race, I didn't understand why Quartarao was penalized.
So...... I sent Benoit an email "what the heck was the Quatararo penalty for ?"

I think he was just venting a little. He's a good guy.

It will be interesting to see if Marquez is as dominant when he comes back...

Cheers
Bob
