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 rival𒉰ry, because having an enemy motivated me,” Lorenzo told DAZN about Rossi.

"Vale and I didn't fight on⛎ track in 2015. Although🌟 the rivalry was felt. 

“Sometimes I won, other times he won, but the competition was ꦜnoticeable in the environment until the end.

“ꦜIt was chewed up by the media. I said something, he dꩲid too, I replied... 

“In the press it was said that we did not g𝔍et along and that we d🦂id not speak to each other." 

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

"At the airport I told her that at the pre🅺ss conference she haꩲd to ask me if Valentino deserved the title,” Lorenzo said. 

“For me it would not have been deserved. I wanted to put pressure on him to feel i🅰nferior. 

“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 Spa🦩niards, I remember that in the Spanishဣ press there were more than 250 people talking about MotoGP. 

“In 2003, when we crossed paths in the paddock, Dani didn't even look at me, we didn't say goodby🍃e, neither with him nor with Alberto (Puig). 

“We went to Malayꦑsia, heꦯ 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 ca🦩me the race in Australia, and we neve🌼r spoke to each other again."
