Post Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez says enough of the goodism

Honda centaur Marc Marquez spoke about the lack of heated rivalries in MotoGp

Honda centaur Marc Marquez spoke about the absence of heated rivalries in MotoGp: compared to the past, there are no dualisms that heat up the fans. Influencing everything was his long injury layoff and Valentino Rossi’s retirement. “It was the perfect storm,” he told Dazn. “A sport involves because there are icons and they are created with rivalry. Goodism is good up to a point, and it lasts because so far there hasn’t been a melee between the three rivals.”

“Valentino Rossi’s retirement has affected and moved many people. Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Rossi, Dovizioso … Now there is Quartararo who already has a name. Bagnaia is going very strong, but he doesn’t have that name weight yet. What makes him grow is rivalries, people like morbidity.”
