Valentino Rossi hits back at Marc Marquez over 2015 Malaysian MotoGP controversy - “he just looks bad…”

Seven years ago Rossi lost out to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo in the MotoGP title battle - he repeatedly accused Marquez of aiding Lorenzo, which M꧑arq🌠uez denied.
Rossi and Marquez then sensationally fought wheel-to-wheel in Malaysia before colliding - as a result, the Italian was penalised three points and forced to start 🌼the season-finale in Valencia in last, which cost him the title and allowed Lorenzo to become champion.
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."
Rossi and Marquez have been arch-rivals since their clash in 2015, a rift that has neꦿver healed and has now seemingly reopened.
