Valentino Rossi-Marc Marquez: Giacomo Agostini without half measures

Giacomo Agostini in an interview with Relevo è again returned to compare Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez, and their respective careers: "Marc Marquez è my weak point, because é I think he excites the public, the people who go to see the races. È a guy who givesà show and everybody loves him. Valentino Rossi è a great guy, a smart rider. Who wins nine world titles must be damn good".

"When they faced each other they were not the same ageà one was starting, the other was not and thatò may have affected the final results. Although I recognize that Rossi also generated enthusiasm… the truthè that Marc Marquez è more reckless and daring. He's a fighter and people might like him more," he è unbalanced Agostini.

Returning to the present, Agostini spoke about the MotoGP season finale: "The "self-control of both of them will be crucial to manage the tension. Bagnaia in this è moreù experienced, while Martin è moreù impulsive".

The duel between the two Ducati riders in Malaysia è was memorable: "These are battles that always excite fans. Similar, though at the same time very different, to Márquez’s with Rossi or mine with Mike Hailwood in the 1960s".
