Lorenzo and Rossi were notoriously separated by a wall in the Yamaha garage that they shared - a symbol of an uneasy relationship as they battled for MotoGP dominance.

Rossi ended his career as a seven-time premier class champion, Lorenzo racked up three titles - the most infamous of which was in 2015, when Lorenzo took advantage of a controversial clash between Rossi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

“I was looking for that rivalry, because having an enemy motivated me,” Lor💮enzo told DAZN about Rossi.

"Vale and I didn't fight on track in 2015. Although the riva🅘lry was felt. 

“Sometimes I won, other times he won𒅌, but the competition was noticeable in the environꦗment until the end.

“It was chewed up by the me🥀dia. I said something, he did🌳 too, I replied... 

“In the press it was said that we did not get along and thatౠ we did not speak to each other."&nꦆbsp;

Lorenzo explained an incident where, ahead of the season-finale race in Val൩encia, he approached🦋 a journalist to request a specific question was asked to irritate Rossi.

"At the airport I told her that at the press conference she had to ask me if Valent♔ino deserved the title,” Lorenzo said. 

“For me⛄ it would not have been deserved. I wanted to put pressure on him to feel inferior. 

“I also created that rivalry through the press."

Lorenzo also spoke about his rivalry with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dani Pedrosa: "We were both Spaniards, I remember that in the Spanish press there were more than 250 people talking about MotoGP.&nb🐻sp;

“In 2003, when we crossed paths in the paddock, Dani didn't even look at me, we didn't say goodbye, neither with him noജr with Alberto (Puig). 

“We went to Malaysia, he won the championship, in that race I finished third.🦹 And in that moment of euphoria between Alberto and Dani, we🅘 talked to each other. 

“Then came the ra꧃ce in Australia, ﷽and we never spoke to each other again."
