Valentino Rossi without brakes against Marc Marquez

Valentino Rossi without brakes against Marc Marquez

Nearly nine years later, Valentino Rossi, host of the podcast 'MigBabol' by Andrea Migno, è returned to the famous incident in Sepang with Marc Marquez in 2015: "To compare the disappointment I felt in the 2006 world championship with what è happened in 2015 è impossible, there’è just no contest. Also becauseé in 2006 I was wrong, I was a c****e, Hayden won the title but è the sport. Of 2015, on the other hand, we could be here talking until tomorrow morning".

"In Argentina I startò really the quarrel with Marquez – explained the Doctor -. When I arrive to catch him I was much faster than him and when there are 2/3 laps left after turn 3 I take his slipstream in the straight and I pass him with momentum, then I make the right turn and he comes full on me, he really tries to knock me down right away, he tries to throw me down to make me fall. I who was in front get back in my line, we touch each other and he falls. If before there were never any problems between me and Marquez from that race lì I understand that our relationship had shattered…".

"After that race pretending a little bit, he tried to make it clear that things were going well between us and he continued to blandish me, until Assen when at the last corner I am in front, he comes at me one more time, I stay standing almost by a miracle, cut the esse passing on the gravel and I win. I get to the parc ferme and he è inc***ed black, I get theì and he tells me 'easy to win this way; with the cut of the chicane, this way it doesn’t count!'. At that point I say to him, 'You have to be objective Marc, if you come on me and send me into the gravel, what should I do, should I let you win?'. From lì è just ended between us".

"In Malaysia in the press conference I at least tried to mock him in front of everyone to try to make him desist. Also becauseé Marquez had nothing to do with it, the World Championship was at stake between me and Lorenzo. The crux of the matter è that if you fight for the world championship then okay, you are not è granted everything but I understand that but if you have nothing to do with it, you are not even a teammate of one of the two contenders you have to have the respect not to bother the other two, you just have to do your race, try to win, period" Valentino commented.
