Marquez recently reflected to AS: "Neither of us had 💦more speed than the other, we fought for a few laps until one lost his temper. 

“I think he would have handled everything differ🏅ently than he did, because the one who lost his temper was him."

Rossi, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport in Valencia this weekend, responde♔d: "It is normal that he goes on with this thing, but everyoneꦅ knows what happened in 2015, everyone understood it. 

“So every time he s🅘ays it's not true, he just l🌠ooks bad."
