Damn, the funny thing is that the whole controversy is about the hams they showed and those aren't even his hams lol.
Can someone find the Marc Marques documentary that was showed on Spanish tv last Sunday?

That and flaunting(their words not mine) his wealth in a country that is in a terrible economic state.
I didn't see the big deal. Dude risks killing himself every time he shows up for work, I hope he'd get payed well.
I spent some time in Spain this summer and this is what I can think. In Spain they use mainly two types of ham, "York" and "Iberico" the york is your common cheap ham and the Iberico is the expensive one, when ordered anywhere in Spain (restaurants, coffee places, etc) the price difference is substantial. Spain is currently going through some serious economical problems and showing a bunch of Iberico hams being displayed was viewed as an opulence that stroke a cord with the common folk that can't afford food for their kids while JL is displaying these extravagances.
People can't really say "I will also like to have a pool and a bunch of models laying around my house" so they focused on the hams.
This is just my interpretation and I find it hilarious but they do like their hams over there.
[h=1]MotoGP™ revving up for pre-season testing[/h]
Friday, 10 January 2014
[h=2]As January draws to a close, so too will the MotoGP™ testing ban which will almost immediately signal the start of pre-season running in Malaysia and a critical period for teams and riders on the buildup to the new campaign.
[/h]
There has been no MotoGP™ track action since the first Official Pre-Season Test for 2014 which immediately followed the final race of 2013 at Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit. Since then, the community has had some time to rest while developments continued behind the scenes across the months of December and January in which the official testing ban is in place.
The Sepang International Circuit will host the opening test session of the year for three days at the start of February, before the second gathering at the same venue will close the month and mark the final time before the Qatar Grand Prix that all premier class competitors share a race track. There will, however, be two more test outings before the first racing of the new season kicks off.
At the start of March, the official riders of factory outfits Repsol Honda Team, Yamaha Factory Racing and Ducati Team will take to Australia’s Phillip Island circuit for a three-day Tyre Safety Test in order to dial out difficulties suffered last year. That same week, the final pre-season action will come at Qatar’s Losail International Circuit – the same venue as the opening race – but minus Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow who will have been present at Phillip Island. This Qatar gathering will present a final opportunity for those running new Open machinery to continue their development.
The intermediate and lightweight classes will not be stood still either, as Moto2™ and Moto3™ share Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit from 10-13 February, plus two visits to the Circuito de Jerez on 18-20 February and 11-13 March, respectively. In the mix, Caterham will make more steps towards its much-awaited debut in Moto2™ (with Johann Zarco alongside American Josh Herrin) as Moto3™ sees the new Honda racer continuing its journey alongside the likes of the new Husqvarna marque.
2014 pre-season testing dates:
MotoGP™
4-6 Feb: Sepang, Malaysia
26-28 Feb: Sepang, Malaysia
3-5 Mar: Phillip Island, Australia (Tyre Safety Test)
7-9 Mar: Losail, Qatar
* Featuring factory team official riders only
Moto2™/Moto3™
11-13 Feb: Valencia, Spain
18-20 Feb: Jerez, Spain
11-13 Mar: Jerez, Spain
