This winter Marc Marquez is the protagonist of numerous events and interviews, the last one given to Antena 3, guest of Joaquí Sanchez on his program El Novato. The Spanish champion talked about several topics and his relationship with Valentino Rossi just had to be one of them. The two champions clashed in that unforgotten and unforgettable 2015 and time has not improved their relationship.
“I like rivalry, I can't even train alone, rivalry is what makes you grow - explained Marc - I don't have any friends in the paddock. When you fight for the championship with another rider there is nothing personal, but there is tension: I had it with Lorenzo, with Pedrosa. That's how it went with Dani: after the last race in Valencia, our relationship changed".
With the Doctor, however, it was different.
“I had the worst relationship with Rossi. It was like a divorce, you can listen to one version or the other, but whatever happened, happened and it all blew up from there,” he continued.
Honda’s Spanish rider however has his own idea about the reasons that prompted Valentino to get into the fight.
“When you are the strongest, like Messi, you don't look for contact, to warm up the game, because you are the best. When, on the other hand, you see yourself a little inferior, then you do it to score a goal, something like that happened – was his version – At the time of the championship when the controversy broke out, Lorenzo was faster than him. He tried to heat things up and in the end speed won"
Asked directly, Marquez ruled out any possibility of a reconciliation, even now that Rossi has left MotoGP.
“I don't think we will be able to do it - he said - I have a lot of respect towards him for what he has done for motorcycling, I think he is the only one who has attracted a lot of public, however, after what happened between us, everyone has his own life".
