Marc Marquez angers Valentino Rossi’s fans with one sentence

For years, the stories have been tense between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez: in 2015, everything happened between the two and in the end the MotoGp world championship ended up in Jorge Lorenzo’s trophy case and not the ‘Doctor”s, who failed to win his tenth iris after those brought home in the 125, 250 and as many as seven in the premier class (one in the 500 and six in MotoGp). Recently, a documentary on what happened in Sepang ten years ago has reignited the controversy, which has very recently expanded even further, with fans of the ace from Tavullia not liking the Spaniard’s new externalization.

In recent days, engaged in a series of promotional events, both the newly crowned MotoGp world champion and his brother Alex have been talking a lot to the press, particularly the press in their country. What sparked the pandemonium was what the eldest Marquez said to microphones at ‘El Periodico’ media outlet. “There is no resentment on my part toward Valentino Rossi. I have learned that it is important to respect my opponents.” There are those who have interpreted the number 93’s words as an outstretched hand toward his former colleague but there are also those, virtually all of Rossi’s fans, who have grown testy.

They have gone against it.

The “Valentinians” went on the counterattack en masse, showing on social media all their discontent with what they had just read. “This man has the courage of a lion,” said Diego, for example. “Does he have no resentment against Vale? Then why did he behave that way ten years ago when he was cut out of the title race.” Along the same lines was Carlo’s comment, “If there are people who should feel resentment, they are first of all Valentino and then us, Yellow Tide: fans that Marquez can only dream of having.” “Did he really say that? But even in Spain they broadcast Zelig?” cut Franco short.

Fans of the ‘Doctor’ also wanted to make their voices heard. “Bel tacer was never written,” Claudia sentenced, quoting a well-known proverb. Ten years after 2015, it is clear and evident that that rift cannot be recomposed, after all, even Valentino Rossi himself, every time he has been asked about the subject, has been peremptory and has reiterated that he has not changed his mind either about what happened or, even less, about Marc Marquez. The feeling is that there will be more episodes of a soap opera that has turned out to be exciting for both haters and fans of the two champions.
